X-Ray Scattering near a Liquid - Vapor Phase Transition at the n-Hexane - Water Interface

The molecular structure of neutral n-triacontanol mesophases at the n-hexane

• water interface has been studied by diffuse X-ray scattering using synchrotron radiation. According to the experimental data, a transition to the multilayer adsorption of alkanol occurs at a temperature below the transition from a gas phase to a liquid Gibbs monolayer.
