The influence of the Casimir effect on the binding potential for 3D wetting
Alessio Squarcini, José M. Romero-Enrique, Andrew O. Parry
We provide comprehensive details of how a previously overlooked entropic, or low temperature Casimir contribution, , to the total binding potential for 3D short-ranged wetting…
The Casimir effect in wetting layers
Alessio Squarcini, José M. Romero-Enrique, Andrew O. Parry
For a long time, the study of thermal effects at three-dimensional (3D) short-ranged wetting transitions considered only the effect of interfacial fluctuations. We show that an ent…
Casimir contribution to the interfacial Hamiltonian for 3D wetting
Alessio Squarcini, José M. Romero-Enrique, Andrew O. Parry
Previous treatments of three-dimensional (3D) short-ranged wetting transitions have missed an entropic or low temperature Casimir contribution to the binding potential describing t…
Inhomogeneous surface tension of chemically active fluid interfaces
Alessio Squarcini, Paolo Malgaretti
We study the dependence of the surface tension of a fluid interface on the density profile of a third suspended phase. By means of an approximated model for the binary mixture and…
Passive advection of fractional Brownian motion by random layered flows
Alessio Squarcini, Enzo Marinari, Gleb Oshanin
We study statistical properties of the process of a passive advection by quenched random layered flows in situations when the inter-layer transfer is governed by a fractiona…
