Adsorption of Ne on alkali surfaces studied with a density functional theory

A density functional formalism is applied to investigate the wetting behavior of Ne adsorbed on planar substrates. The study is performed over the complete range of temperatures spanned from the triple point Tt up to the critical one Tc. For this purpose, an effective attractive pair potential was b...
