Resumen:
Single polyelectrolyte chains were simulated in the Debye-Hückel approximation. The average end-to-end quadratic distance R2 was calculated as a function of the chain length, the ionic strength of the solution and the dimension of space. The upper critical dimension d = 6, for the electrostatic interaction, and the asymptotic stretched behavior are in agreement with recent developments of renormalization group theory. The transition between stretched and coiled conformations is described.
