Temperature Effect on the Two-Dimensional Phase Transition Kinetics of Adenine Adsorbed at the Hg Electrode/Aqueous Solution Interface

Abstract

The kinetics of the liquid-like → solid-like 2D phase transition of adenine adsorbed at the Hg/aqueous solution interface is studied. Attention is focused on the effect of temperature on the rate of phase change; an increase in temperature is found to cause a decrease of transition rate.
