We discuss Molecular Dynamics (MD) computer simulations of tetracosane (C24H50) monolayer physisorbed onto a graphite surface. The alkane molecules are simulated with explicit hydrogens, and the graphite substrate is represented as an…

Molecular dynamics simulations are utilized to study the melting transition in pentane (C5H12) and heptane (C7H16), physisorbed onto the basal plane of graphite at near-monolayer coverages. Through use of the newest, optimized version of…

The melting transition in solid monolayers of a series of short-chained n-alkanes, n-octane (n-C8H18), n-decane (n-C10H22), and n-dodecane (n-C12H26) physisorbed onto the graphite basal plane are studied through use of molecular dynamics…

We present the results of molecular dynamics (MD) studies of hexane physisorbed onto graphite for eight coverages in the range $0.875 \le \rho \le 1.05$ (in units of monolayers). At low temperatures the adsorbate molecules form a uniaxially…
