14. Here, we use equilibrium to mean that the system is ramped to a set point and the temperature allowed to settle, before any dielectric measurements are started.

16. The assumption of submonolayer coverage is not strictly obtained in Figs., since condensation and film growth occur.
17. The activation energy of desorption Ea also depends on, and to a lesser extent T. The dependence on is important for condensation, and Ea typically exhibits an abrupt increase at the phase transition.
