Figure 2.

Average defect number 〈n_d〉 (a) and order probability P₀(N) (b) and as a function of the number of molecules N (bottom axis) and chain length (top axis) for temperatures T = 298 K and T = 387 K. Simulation results are depicted as full symbols, connected by thin lines for 〈n_d〉. The approximation of uncorrelated defects is shown as dashed lines, and the approximation of uncorrelated defects and defect pairs as solid lines. Open symbols indicate rescaled simulation results obtained using the law of corresponding states given by (15).
