Popis: Monte Carlo simulations employing the pivot algorithm are used to generate ideal and excluded‐volume chains on two‐ and three‐dimensional lattices. The second, fourth, sixth, and eighth moments of the average monomer–monomer separation are calculated from the resulting configurations. The coefficients in the expansion of the structure factor are computed from universal ratios of these. The values found for excluded‐volume chains are smaller than the ideal chain values and the differences are greater in two dimensions than in three dimensions.
