Abstract: In the present work we calculate the configurational entropy of an arbitrary number of dipoles placed on a square lattice. We use a quasi-two-dimensional (Q2D) space to capture the main features determining the occupation statistics of this system. We show that our result is in agreement with both, lattice-gas predictions at low coverages and the exact value derived in the close-packed limit as well.
