Abstract
Calculations and a comparison analysis of the density profiles of an ultrathin layer of dichloromethane on three types of solid flat substrates are performed using the functional density and atomistic molecular dynamics approaches. The efficiency of using these techniques as mutually complementary ways of describing the structural properties of nanosized surface layers is demonstrated.
