Rotator phases of the normal alkanes: An x-ray scattering study
Abstract
We present results of a detailed x-ray scattering study on the rotator phases of normal alkanes: CH3–(CH2)n−2–CH3 (20≤n≤33). We have characterized a new tilted rotator phase and determined the temperature and chain length dependence of the distortion, tilt, and azimuthal order parameters which characterize the time-space averaged structures of the five rotator phases. We have shown that there is no strong even–odd chain length effect on the phase diagram within the rotator phases and have shown the continuity of that phase diagram in the 26-27 carbon vicinity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
