26. It is interesting to note that cyclohexane, which forms an ordered and commensurate overlayer on Pt(111), shows an exceptionally broad softened mode. We believe this molecule may retain rotational degrees of freedom at 100 K that allow the proximal C-H bonds to sample different surface sites. This heterogeneity leads to a broad softened mode, which is actually a convolution of many overlapping components.
