Abstract
According to the recent ESDIAD experiment PF3 molecules adsorbed on Ru(001) show interesting coverage- and temperature-dependent rotational hindrance. A model is constructed that the molecules sit on the atop site, having short ranged interactions. The analysis is made by using Monte Carlo simulation. On the obtained distributions, rotational motions of isolated adsorbates and adsorbate clusters are discussed quantum-mechanically. A possible quantum gear like situation is found for the adsorbate clusters.
