5. Two-dimensional phase transitions
For the sake of brevity, paragraphs 5 and will deal only with phase transitions in physisorbed films. For the whole of this section, please refer to the bibliographical references ().
5.1 Definitions
In adsorption, a two-dimensional phase transition, or 2D transition, is usually understood as the passage of a monomolecular layer of the film from one state to another (e.g. from a diluted to a condensed state). The limiting case is one in which the interactions between the molecules making up the film would be completely unhindered...
