  Using density functional (DF) and Monte Carlo methods, we have studied the
properties of Ne adsorbed on a Cs surface, focusing on the region at and near
saturated vapor pressure (SVP). In the case of Ne/Rb, the experimental data of
Hess, Sabatini and Chan are consistent with the calculations based on an ab
initio fluid-substrate potential, while in the Ne/Cs case there is indication
that the potential is approx 9% too deep. In that case, the calculations yield
partial drying behavior consistent with the experimental finding of depressed
fluid density near the surface, above SVP. However, we find no evidence of a
drying transition, a result consistent with a mean field calculation of Ebner
and Saam.
