Capillary condensation transitions in a slab geometry

Mostrar todas las versiones(3)

A simple model, previously used to explore wetting transitions, is evaluated for the case of a slab geometry in which adsorption occurs between two semi-infinite solids, with parallel faces separated by a distance L. The model yields a universal description of possible wetting and capillary condensa...
