We report two neutron-diffraction studies of CD4 and D2 adsorbed on single-wall carbon nanotubes which show that, for increasing uptake, the molecules are first linearly condensed in the grooves and in the interstitial channels and then cover completely, the outer surface of the bundles to form a quasi-hexagonal layer.
