An order-disorder phase transition in monolayer CO/LiF(001)
Monte Carlo simulations of CO physisorbed on a LiF(001) surface show that a monolayer of CD molecules forms an ordered p(2 root 2x root 2)R45 herringbone structure which undergoes an order-disorder phase transition around 30 K. The CO molecules sit near the Li+ sites (C atom down) with a tilt of similar to 40 degrees from the surface normal.
