Abstract
Specific structural features of the Langmuir-Blodgett films of cadmium and lead stearates are studied by high-energy electron diffraction. I t is found that deposition of the films of steatic acid salts gives ri se to the ''hexagonal orientations'' of crystalline domains in the pla ne of the film layer. This phenomenon is related to the [0.2] and [1.1 ] specific directions arising upon crystallization of the two-dimensio nal crystal lattice in the monolayer.
