15. In the case of rare-gas monolayer on (111) metal surfaces, the (3×3) R30° structure would be the ground state provided that V G0 is sufficiently large.

29. It was found that the number of distinct local minima in our study was not large even for the cell with 36 adsorbate particles. The exploration of the potential energy surface was considered complete when no new minima could be identified in 500 conjugate-gradients minimizations. The total number of minimizations for the C 36 84 cell was around 2000.
30. The minus sign was used for the first Fourier coefficient to make the atop site the most stable on the (111) surface. The chosen interval corresponds to the atop site energy from 10 to 100 meV respective to the least stable fcc adsorption site.
