Complete prewetting.
We study continuous interfacial transitions, analagous to two-dimensional complete wetting, associated with the first-order prewetting line, which can occur on steps, patterned walls, grooves and wedges, and which are sensitive to both the range of the intermolecular forces and interfacial fluctuation effects. These transitions compete with wetting, filling and condensation producing very rich ...
متن کاملCalorimetric Study of Nematic Prewetting
– We report specific-heat measurements for a series of liquid crystals imbedded in a porous cylindrical geometry. Above the nematic-to-isotropic transition and dependent on nematic width (or chain length), the specific heat shows a small peak. In analogy to known ellipsometry results, the peak is believed to be the signature of a nematic prewetting transition. The behavior of liquid crystals (L...
متن کاملPrewetting transition in supercritical argon
2014 From the low frequency measurements of the dielectric constant of ultra low impurity liquid argon, we obtain the density of the liquid in the vicinity of the critical point. Along the 50 atm isobar slightly above the critical temperature, we find apparent discontinuity in the density, suggesting proximity to a prewetting transition. A simple mean field theoretical analysis provides a quali...
متن کاملWetting and Prewetting on Ceramic Surfaces
The stabilization of nanoscale surficial amorphous films (SAFs) for Bi2O3 on ZnO, VOx on TiO2, SiOx on Si, and several other oxide systems provides evidence for the existence of prewetting phenomena with analogies in water and other simple systems, as well as the stabilization of intergranular amorphous films in ceramics. Experimental results show that in the subeutectic regime, the equilibrium...
متن کاملPrewetting transitions of one site associating fluids.
Prewetting transitions are studied for Lennard-Jones (LJ) based dimer forming associating fluids, on a structureless surface represented by LJ 9-3 type potential, for various association strengths using grand-canonical transition matrix Monte Carlo (GC-TMMC) and histogram reweighting techniques. Occurrences of prewetting transition are observed for association strengths: epsilon(af)=2.0, 4.0, 6...
