Abstract
Rare gas films on graphite exhibit a wide variety of behavior, depending on coverage and temperature. Experimental data for monolayers have been interpreted variously as 2D gases, liquids, and solids. Solid phases are characterized as commensurate, incommensurate or showing orientational epitaxy or domain walls. Theoretical methods have been developed to treat these, beginning with empirical or áb initio potentials. Great interest has been drawn to the nature of phase transitions, which show a greater diversity than the analogous 3D phenomena. While some behavior is understood quantitatively, many questions of interpretation remain.

We include here statistical interactions in the quantum case.
Note that there are quasi—stationary states in which the perpendicular energy is negative but ei>0; these are seen in scattering as bound state resonances. See D. R. Frankl, Prog. Surf. Sci. 13, 285 (1983).

Indeed the preceding simple behavior does not even coincide with numerical results for classical systems because s is not constant. See, e.g., Tully, J. C., Surf. Sci. 111, 461 (1981).
