Simulation snapshots. (a) Surface coverage \(\phi =0.19\) (Supplemental Movie 3). (b) Near the critical surface coverage \(\phi =0.3\approx {\phi }^{\ast }\) (Supplemental Movie 4). (c) High surface coverage \(\phi =0.57\), exhibiting coexistence of a locally dilute phase and a dense phase with non-homogeneous polydomains of orientational ordering (Supplemental Movie 5).
