Using molecular dynamics simulation, we have calculated the melting temperature of two-dimensional electron systems on 240–500 Å helium films supported by substrates of dielectric constants ϵs=2.2–11.9 at areal densities n varying from 3×109 to 1.3×1010  cm−2 . Our results are in good agreement with the available theoretical and experimental results.
