Crystal, Fivefold and Glass Formation in Clusters of Polymers Interacting with the Square Well Potential

We present results, from Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, on polymer systems of freely jointed chains with spherical monomers interacting through the square well potential. Starting from athermal packings of chains of tangent hard spheres, we activate the square well potential under constant volume and...
