description

The head-tail (dipolar) ordering in commensurate submonolayer films of carbon monoxide adsorbed on graphite recently observed in heat-capacity measurements for T < 5.18 K has been investigated by neutron diffraction. It will be shown that the experimental results are consistent with an end-for-end ordered commensurate herringbone structure.
