22. As far as single-chain dynamics is concerned, recent numerical studies using molecular dynamics 45 reveal that diffusion of long chains cannot always be modeled as a single segment jumps from one site to another.

24. For the attractive cases, the chain configurations at coverages close to unity freeze into a glassy state and thus it becomes practically impossible to study diffusion with the present model.
25. For the cases J=0 and J=-0.5 we used the fitting function c1-c2tanh[c3(c4-θ)] and for J=-1.0 we used c1(1-c2θc3). The corresponding parameters for the end segments for the cases J=0, J=-0.5, and J=-1.0 were c1=14.7, c2=14.4, c3=3.1, c4=0.39; c1=15.4, c2=16.5, c3=2.4, c4=0.35; and c1=26.9, c2=1.1, c3=0.71, respectively. The corresponding parameters for midsegments were c1=3.9, c2=3.4, c3=2.9, c4=0.56; c1=3.8, c2=3.5, c3=2.6, c4=0.56; and c1=7.0, c2=0.92, c3=1.1.
