Abstract
The authors present a study of a model proposed by Sluckin (1988) to represent molecular monolayers adsorbed on a surface. Monte Carlo simulations and a Mu Iler-Hartmann-Zittartz interface free energy calculation reveal that the region of stability of the low-temperature herringbone phase of this system is much less extensive than was originally thought. The analysis indicates that the model exhibits a very rich phase diagram, which merits further investigation.Keywords
