Description
We have carried out computer simulations of the dynamics of a model polymer chain in a solvent. We find that the structure function scales for different chain sizes N as a function of q = kN/sup ν/ with ν = 0.6 approx. = exponent for the radius of gyration. Furthermore, S (q) approx. q/sup -5/3/ over a wide range, as predicted by Edwards. Time-dependent correlation function appear to scale as tN/sup α/, with α approx. = 2ν + 1. The time-displaced structure function is of the form S
