ResumoWe report on a scanning force microscopy study of self-assembled octadecanol monolayers physisorbed at the liquid/graphite interface. The layers were found to be stable for reproducible imaging with applied forces up to about 1×10−9 N. We were able to observe both the long-range lamella structure of monolayers including domain boundaries, as well as the detailed arrangement of molecules within each lamella.
