Abstract

The results of Monte Carlo simulations of xenon monolayers deposited on graphite are presented. Systems of various surface densities and in a wide range of temperatures are investigated. The results are compared to the experimental data and to the previous results for nitrogen. The results of simulations are in good agreement with the experimental ones and confirm that melting in two dimensions is vacancy-driven. Typical real-space configurations of Xe atoms and calculated specific heat results are shown.
