Abstract: Linear alkanes are capable of adsorbing commensurately on the graphite surface. However, interesting changes in the structure of the rst adsorbed layer occur with increasing coverage. We have explored the incommensurate to commensurate transition of n-hexane on graphite using atomistic computer simulations. Our model reproduced well the structural transition observed in neutron scattering experiments. We were able to show that at monolayer coverage, a signi cant number of molecules were arranged such that their zig-zag backbone plane perpendicular to the surface while at multilayer coverages, all molecules were lying at on the surface. We identi ed this to be the underlying cause of the 10% change in the lattice parameter. These calculations are currently being pursued for n-heptane on graphite to study structural aspects as well as its melting behavior. The eect of surface on the odd-even eect in the melting point of bulk n-alkanes is being probed.
