Wetting phenomena in films of molecufar hydrogen isotopes
" triple point wettings," and gave no indications for a prewetting transition in this range. At low temperatures (T<T, /3) h e equilibrium film thickness reaches only a few monolayers. Thicker films. prepared by quench-condensation of H2 gas at 1.5 K. undergo a dewetting process during annealing: most of the film material contracts to clusters. and in between the films thin down to its equilibr...
متن کاملSurface forces and wetting phenomena.
Conditions for thermodynamic equilibrium of liquid drops on solid substrates are presented. It is shown that if surface force (disjoining/conjoining Derjaguin pressure) action in a vicinity of the three-phase contact line is taken into account the condition of thermodynamic equilibrium is duly satisfied. Then the thermodynamic expressions for equilibrium contact angles of drops on solid substra...
متن کاملWetting phenomena in bcc binary alloys
The wetting behavior at the free (100) surface of a bcc binary alloy exhibiting a continuous order-disorder transition in the bulk is investigated theoretically, using a model equivalent to a bcc Ising antiferromagnet in an external magnetic field. Its salient feature is the generation of an effective ordering surface field , g1 6= 0, for certain symmetry-breaking surface orientations like (100...
متن کاملPrecursor phenomena in frustrated systems.
To understand the origin of the dynamical transition, between high-temperature exponential relaxation and low-temperature nonexponential relaxation, that occurs well above the static transition in glassy systems, a frustrated spin model, with and without disorder, is considered. The model has two phase transitions, the lower being a standard spin glass transition (in the presence of disorder) o...
متن کاملNonlocality and short-range wetting phenomena.
We propose a nonlocal interfacial model for 3D short-range wetting at planar and nonplanar walls. The model is characterized by a binding-potential functional depending only on the bulk Ornstein-Zernike correlation function, which arises from different classes of tubelike fluctuations that connect the interface and the substrate. The theory provides a physical explanation for the origin of the ...
