Abstract
Nitrogen and argon adsorption on two graphites differing in their surface homogeneity was studied in a wide range of temperatures (77.5 K up to 183.2 K). The experimentally determined entropy of the adsorbed phase and isoteric heat of adsorption were analyzed. The Hill-de Boer adsorption isotherm was employed to calculate the apparent two-dimensional critical temperature. The behaviour of the adsorbed film was analyzed to explain the influence exerted upon it by temperature and surface homogenity.
