Abstract

Detailed heat-capacity measurements have been made over the rangex=0.03–1.15 monolayers and the temperature rangeT=1–10 K. A small, on-line computer acquired and reduced the data in a very reproducible manner. Vapor-pressure measurements indicate that the substrate is strongly heterogeneous. The heat capacity, while qualitatively similar to previous data on Ar-plated copper, is best explained by a model based on extreme surface heterogeneity.
