Abstract: Recent thermodynamic and neutron scattering measurements of thin films of normal-alkanes adsorbed on MgO (1 0 0) surfaces are reported. Neutron Diffraction and Neutron Vibrational Spectroscopy data are discussed with reference to a comprehensive set of high-precision volumetric isotherms for the alkanes.
