Vibrational spectroscopy of chemisorbed fatty acids with inelastic electron tunneling
DA Cass,

We have measured and assigned the inelastic tunneling spectra of hexanoic acid chemisorbed onto an oxidized aluminum file. We present evidence for gauche-trans as well as-trans conformers in the monolayer and evidence in support of a recent theory of tunneling intensities.
