Relating the organization of the molecular tilt azimuth to lateral-force images in monolayers transferred to solid substrates
The molecular tilt azimuth in domains of a condensed phase in monolayers of glycerol esters at the air/water interface exhibits a regular star texture. Lateral-force images of these monolayers that have been transferred to a silicon substrate show that the tilt organization survives. Regular patterns are also found in images of monolayers on mica, but the organization differs from that observed at the air/water interface.
