摘要：

We have directly imaged n-alkane layers adsorbed at the liquid/graphite interface using a scanning tunneling microscope. The layers possessed a high degree of two-dimensional ordering. The adsorbate was observed to enhance the tunneling current, and the atomic structure of the images was dominated by features associated with the substrate. These systems are excellent vehicles for studies concerning the imaging mechanism of adsorbed organic layers because of their stability and simplicity.
