Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 2160–2163 (1998)Mechanism of Thickness Determination in Polymer CrystalsReceived 19 March 1998; published in the issue dated 7 September 1998 Based upon kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of crystallization in a simple polymer model we present a new picture of the mechanism by which the thickness of lamellar polymer crystals is constrained to a value close to the minimum thermodynamically stable thickness. This description contrasts with those given by the two dominant theoretical approaches. © 1998 The American Physical Society URL:
