Abstract

Infrared spectroscopy was used to analyze the structure of 0.5–10 μm thick layers of hexadecane on a metal substrate in the range 3000–2800 cm−1. The results suggest that density fluctuations occur in layers between 3 and 10 μm thick, whereas the hexadecane crystallizes in thinner layers.
