Abstract

Jackson's model for adsorbed helium monolayers is suitable for studying thermodynamic properties in the mobile limit. In particular, low-temperature specific heats can be calculated over a range of areal densities. The dominant contributions come from longitudinal surface phonons. We report here (i) an extension of Jackson's model to account for surface-phonon-surface-phonon interactions, (ii) computations of low-temperature specific heats to several coverages, and (iii) a comparison of the computed results to experiment.
