35. The alert reader might notice that the adsorption potential parameters for Kr/P-Mg coincide with those for Xe/Li; this reveals the accidental origin of this serendipitous choice of fictitious substrate.

42. The presence of a (Formula presented) monolayer film for Xe/Li below the wetting transition stands in contrast to the (Formula presented) layer film for Ne/Mg below its transition 1622.
43. This estimate is based on the results of J.P. Hansen and L. Verlet, Phys. Rev. 184, 151 (1969), who found the reduced triple point temperature for a Lennard-Jones fluid to be 0.68+/-0.02.
44. Prior to the recent work of Mistura et al., much theoretical attention had been devoted to the (Formula presented) problem, but the assumed potential was less attractive than that implied by the recent study. See Refs. 52526.
