Resolving Discrepancies in Disjoining Pressure Predictions for Liquid Nanofilms from Molecular Simulations
Yafan Yang, Zufeng Zuo, Jingyu Wan +2
Literature values of disjoining pressure in liquid nanofilms from different molecular simulation methods show significant discrepancies. We demonstrate that these arise from neglec…
