Heat Capacities of Rare Gases Adsorbed on Graphite.

Abstract

The McQuistan-Hock model is used to investigate adsorption for realistic systems. After computing the partition function in the most convenient ensemble for the problem under consideration, i.e., the isothermal-isobaric ensemble, the heat capacity for submonolayer films of Ne, Ar and Xe on graphite is computed for several coverage values. Heat-capacity signatures exhibit maxima at temperature values that are in good agreement with experimental data.
