Abstract
We have studied the static properties of a linear array of rod-like particles using Monte Carlo simulation techniques. The calculated temperature dependence of the energy and specific heat are found to be in very good agreement with the exact thermodynamic properties. The model system is known to be rotationally disordered at all temperatures but this behaviour is only mimicked by the computer simulations when the number of particles exceeds one thousand.Keywords
