Structural characterization of a (krypton-methane) film adsorbed on (0001) graphite

Krypton-methane films adsorbed on (0001) graphite have been studied by neutron diffraction, between 45 and 98 K. A two-dimensional solid solution has been observed. Its melting temperature has been determined for two compositions of the layer. The melting appears to be a first-order phase transition...

Summary:Krypton-methane films adsorbed on (0001) graphite have been studied by neutron diffraction, between 45 and 98 K. A two-dimensional solid solution has been observed. Its melting temperature has been determined for two compositions of the layer. The melting appears to be a first-order phase transition.
