29. The approximate length of the (Formula presented) molecule is (Formula presented) [C. R. Safinya, R. J. Birgeneau, J. D. Litster, and M. E. Neubert, Phys. Rev. Lett. 47, 668 (1981)], however, we are uncertain as to the average orientation of this molecule on the surface within the first terrace.
