14. J. Saunders (private communication). It should be noted that there is a qualitative difference between a system in which crystalline order arises from the spontaneous breaking of translational symmetry, and one in which it is imposed by an external potential, as would be the case for an adsorbed film registered with the underlying substrate.

28. In the present system a commensurate second layer implies commensurability with respect to the first layer and not with respect to the graphite substrate. The corrugation of the graphite-helium potential is negligible in the second layer.

32. In Ref. a slightly different version of the Aziz potential was used, which does not deviate significantly from the one used here.

36. In a computer simulation making use of a finite cell, only one first-layer coverage will be compatible with triangular crystalline arrangement. As a result, the relative densities of first and second layers do not change in the course of the simulation.
