Mesoscopic analysis of Gibbs' criterion for sessile nanodroplets on trapezoidal substrates
Filip Dutka, Marek Napiorkowski, Siegfried Dietrich
By taking into account precursor films accompanying nanodroplets on trapezoidal substrates we show that on a mesoscopic level of description one does not observe the phenomenon of…
Effective Hamiltonian for a liquid-gas interface fluctuating around a corrugated cylindrical substrate in the presence of van der Waals interactions
F. Dutka, M. Napiorkowski
We investigate liquid layers adsorbed at spherical and corrugated cylindrical substrates. The effective Hamiltonians for the liquid-gas interfaces fluctuating in the presence of su…
Effective Hamiltonian for fluid membranes in the presence of long-ranged forces
F. Dutka, M. Napiorkowski, S. Dietrich
If the constituent particles of fluid phases interact via long-ranged van der Waals forces, the effective Hamiltonian for \emph{interfaces} between such fluid phases contains - in…
Conceptual aspects of line tensions
L. Schimmele, M. Napiorkowski, S. Dietrich
We analyze two representative systems containing a three-phase-contact line: a liquid lens at a fluid--fluid interface and a liquid drop in contact with a gas phase residing on a s…
Formation of capillary bridges in AFM-like geometry
F. Dutka, M. Napiorkowski
We discuss the phase diagram of fluid confined in AFM-like geometry. It combines the properties of capillary condensation and complete filling of a wedge.
Filling transition for a wedge
K. Rejmer, S. Dietrich, M. Napiorkowski
We study the formation and the shape of a liquid meniscus in a wedge with opening angle which is exposed to a vapor phase. By applying a suitable effective interface model, at…
