Preferred Label : persistence length;
Detailed label : persistence length in polymers;
IUPAC definition : The average projection of the end-to-end vector on the tangent to the chain contour
at a chain end in the limit of infinite chain length. The persistence length (symbol
i a /i ) is the basic characteristic of the worm-like chain.;
