Lines of diffuse scattering along 0kℓ for ℓ = 2n + 2 (perpendicular to row of 00ℓ spots) were observed in both the C31H64 and C30H61OH SAED patterns. This diffuse scattering intensity is consistent with observations previously reported on other n-alkanes by Dorset. This diffuse scattering is absent in kinematical diffraction simulations of unit cell models as it can be broadly attributed to disorder. We pursue this question further below (Microstructure in Single Component Waxes).
