摘要：

We have directly imaged n-alkane and n-alkanol layers at the liquid-graphite interface using a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). The layers possessed a high degree of two-dimensional ordering, and the adsorbate was observed to enhance the tunneling current. The results of this study agree with calorimetric and surface mass measurements, and show that these macroscopic measurements can aid in the selection of systems suitable for imaging with the STM.
