Abstract: | The heat capacity obtained below 30 K for the tetramethylsilane monolayers, which are adsorbed either on graphite or on the
(100) surface of MgO, is analyzed to investigate the vibrational properties. The 2-D Debye temperatures are approximately
60% of the Debye temperature of the bulk solid (γ -phase), reflecting the dimensionality of lattice vibrations. The contributions
from the vibrations perpendicular to the surface as well as the librational motions are determined by fitting the experimental
heat capacities. All the results are consistent with those obtained from the incoherent inelastic neutron scattering and the
molecular dynamics simulation.
