Abstract
The structural and dynamical behavior of overlayers of ethylene physisorbed on the graphite basal plane, has been investigated via computer simulation. The dynamics of various surface phases has been revealed by examination of the power spectra appropriate to molecular translational and rotational motion. Our results are discussed in the light of recent experimental work on the ethylene-graphite system.Keywords
