The properties of the monatomic linear chain with nearest neighbour interaction are considered at fixed length and at constant external tension applying the dynamical theory of the anharmonic lattice developed in our previous work. The vibrational frequency, the damping, the internal energy, the specific heat, the average length and tension are calculated. It is shown that in the case of constant external tension the chain becomes unstable at sufficiently high temperature or at sufficiently high zero‐point energy. The critical parameters are obtained and the behaviour of the thermodynamical quantities in the vicinity of the critical point are investigated.
