Order-disorder transitions on square, triangular, and honeycomb arrays are classified according to whether they can be continuous or must be first order by applying a criterion of Landau. In particular, the transitions to 2 2 arrays on triangular and honeybomb lattices are predicted to be in the universality class of the four-state Potts model. A physical realization of this model, N₂ on Kr-plated graphite, is proposed.
Domany et al. (1977) studied this question.
