| dc.description.abstract | Linear Dichroism in Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy is a
useful tool for studying molecular orientation and for clarifying spectroscopic assignments. n-
Alkane molecules can form single crystals with different polymorphs; orthorhombic and
monoclinic in the case of even chain lengths between n-C28H58 and n-C40H82. These polymorphs
exhibit different linear dichroism in their NEXAFS spectra; in particular a backbone-oriented
transition contributes to the low-energy “C-H” band in the monoclinic polymorph. | en_US |
