5. We note that there are contradictory experiments that are interpreted to give a first order transition with a lattice constant discontinuity of 1%. However, those are closed cell thermodynamic systems and are not as conceptually simple as the experiments of Hamichi

20. The values derived from the model potentials depend sensitively on the value of z that is used. The following results are the values at z that corresponds to the ground state (potential energy plus zero point energy) of V0 (z) for models of W. A. Steele, Surf. Sci.

22. The values are -3.8 K for the Steele model and -7.5 K for that of Klein When the substrate anisotropy is included with γa =0.4 and γR =-0.54, the values change to -6.2 K (at z=3.72 Å) and -12.3 K (at z=3.39 Å), respectively.

39. show a pattern of hexagonal Xe/ graphite domains at 5 K with walls tilted by 11° and spaced by 5 nm. If the walls are superlight, the structure has =0.54° and L=4.48 Å. Such a structure corresponds to one detected in electron diffraction by Hamichi (Ref.) at T/75 K.
