摘要
For pt.I see ibid., vol.12, no.12, p.2475 (1979). The internal distributions within a freely self-avoiding polymer are determined on the basis of a simple diagrammatic convolution technique in conjunction with a superposition approximation. It is found that the mean square lengths of internal subsets are expanded with respect to their isolated values to an extent depending upon the proximity of the subset to either end of the chain. For chains of length much greater than the length of subset, asymmetric screening by the tail 'crowds-in' the internal subset, and shows signs of incipient collapse-a result familiar in dense fluid systems.
