Abstract Order-disorder transitions in alkali and alkaline earth layers adsorbed on furrowed surfaces of transition metals are simulated by the Monte Carlo technique. The dipole-dipole lateral interaction is taken into account over a wide region, together with the indirect interaction characterized by three parameters. The obtained values of the parameters allow us to explain certain features of linear structures formed in adsorbed layers.
