Chem. Phys. 140, 204906 (2014)] to study the effect of particle biaxiality on the phase behavior of liquid-crystal monolayers. Particles are modelled as board-like hard bodies with three different edge lengths $\\sigma_1\\geq\\sigma_2\\geq\\sigma_3$, and use is made of the restricted-orientation approximation (Zwanzig model). A density-functional formalism based on the fundamental-measure theory is used to calculate phase diagrams for a wide range of values of the largest aspect ratio ($\\kappa_1=\\sigma_1/\\sigma_3\\in[1,100]$).
