To investigate how the field affects these energies, we depict them in Figure . The values are given in energy per molecule, rather than energy per area. This allows for easy comparison with the energies for the isolated molecule in Section 2.2/Figure . ) is an average of site-specific deformation and reorientation energies of the individual molecules. It is therefore not surprising that it behaves qualitatively like E geom (cf. Figure ): Standing geometries are hardly affected while lying geometries are (de)stabilized by increasing negative (positive) fields.
