Abstract
The atom-atom potential calculations of stearic acid monolayers have b een performed to determine orientations of the COOH headgroup. It is s hown that the tilt structure of stearic acid monolayers may be due to a leaning of the COOH headgroup's plane away from vertical with the cr ossed conformation (see text).
