A density functional study of the structure of a layer formed by chain molecules pinned to a solid surface is presented. The chains are modeled as freely joined spheres. Segments and all components interact via Lennard-Jones ...

In this paper we have considered a simple lattice gas model of chemisorbed monolayer which allows for the harmonic fluctuations of the bond length between the adsorbate atom and the surface site. The model also involves a ...
