Although the rotator phases of the normal alkanes have been studied for the greater part of
the century, it is only in the last two decades that the experimental and theoretical …

We present results of a detailed x‐ray scattering study on the rotator phases of normal
alkanes: CH3–(CH2) n− 2–CH3 (20≤ n≤ 33). We have characterized a new tilted rotator …

A rare surface freezing phenomenon is observed in molten normal alkanes, using x-ray and
surface tension measurements. An ordered monolayer forms on the surface of the liquid …

Arbeitshypothesen sind revidierbar, deklarierten Wahrheiten nicht, sie verkalken zum
System; Arbeitshypothesen passen sich den Menschen an, den deklarierten Wahrheiten …

We present the first calorimetric study of the normal alkanes CH3–(CH2) n− 2–CH3 (21≤
n≤ 30) covering the temperature range of the five rotator phases (whose structures were …

The density deficit of water at hydrophobic interfaces, frequently called the hydrophobic gap,
has been the subject of numerous experimental and theoretical studies in the past decade …

The structure of octadecyl monolayers on the H-terminated Si (111) surface is investigated
by molecular modeling simulations, using substitution percentages from 33.3% to 100% of …

Molecular dynamics calculations have been used to study the effects of temperature on a
dense monolayer of hydrocarbon molecules. The simulation system consisted of 90 flexible …

We present an X-ray scattering study of the effect of mixed chain lengths on the plastic-
crystalline rotator phases of n-alkanes. When the width of the distribution is large, as is the …

Substantial advances have recently been made in characterizing the structures and phase
diagrams of Langmuir monolayers of alkyl-chain surfactants on water. These allow detailed …
