Abstract
A triple-chain phospholipid monolayer at the air-water interface is in vestigated by means of grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GID). Anal ysis of the diffraction spot profiles parallel and perpendicular to th e surface yields different ordered phases. On increasing the lateral p ressure at different temperatures the hydrocarbon chains form tilted p hases with a tilt toward the nearest neighbors and eventually a hexago nal lattice with vertical chain orientation.
