If the monomers interact with a substrate via a Lennard-Jones potential, then a lateral average over a semi-infinite, planar substrate yields a monomer-substrate potential of the form given in Eq. (3). See, e.g., R. Pandit in Recent Advances in Theoretical Physics, R. Ramachandran, ed. (World Scientific, Singapore, 1985), pp. 302-342; M. Wortis, R. Pandit, and M.
