Abstract
A first-order phase change is observed in a dense monolayer of xenon adsorbed on the cleavage face of nickel chloride. This is the first observation of such a transition for rare gases on a surface other than the basal plane of graphite. We conjecture that it is a solid-solid transition rather than a solid-liquid one.Keywords
