Structure of Normal Alkane Evaporated Films: Molecular Orientation

Molecular evaporation and condensation of liquid n-alkane films

Energetic, structural, and dynamical properties of solid-to-liquid and liquid-to-vapor interfaces and molecular evaporation and condensation processes from high-temperature liquid n-C6Ht4 and n-Ct6Hs4 films were investigated with molecular dynamics simulations. For hexadecane all evaporation events occurred via monomers while for hexane, evaporation of monomers as well as dimers were observed. ...

The elastic modulii of evaporated C60 films

Surface acoustic wave (SAW) pulscs cvcrc cxcitctl in C60 films on a variety of substratcs using pulscs from Excimcr lasers for cxcitation. An optical beam deflection technique and polymer elcctrct transduccrs tvcrc utilizcd to detect the propagation of the SAW pulsc with high spatial and tcmporal resolution, allowing an accuracy of bcttcr than O.lfl/o for SAW velocity mcasuremcnts. With this te...

Band-Gap Tuning Of Electron Beam Evaporated Cds Thin Films

The effect of evaporation rate on structural, morphological and optical properties of electron beam evaporated CdS thin films have been investigated. CdS thin film deposited by electron beam evaporation method in 12nm/min and 60nm/min evaporation rates on glass substrates. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy were used to character...

Linköping University Post Print Electronic structure and molecular orientation of pentacene thin films on ferromagnetic La0.7Sr0.3MnO3

Comparative study of normal and branched alkane monolayer films adsorbed on a solid surface. II. Dynamics.

The dynamics of monolayer films of the n-alkane tetracosane (n-C24H52) and the branched alkane squalane (C30H62) adsorbed on graphite have been studied by quasielastic and inelastic neutron scattering and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Both molecules have 24 carbon atoms along their carbon backbone, and squalane has an additional six methyl side groups symmetrically placed along its lengt...
