Geometry dominated fluid adsorption on sculptured substrates
C. Rascon, A. O. Parry
Experimental methods allow the shape and chemical composition of solid surfaces to be controlled at a mesoscopic level. Exposing such structured substrates to a gas close to coexis…
Local functional models of critical correlations in thin-films
A. O. Parry, E. D. Macdonald, C. Rascon
Recent work on local functional theories of critical inhomogeneous fluids and Ising-like magnets has shown them to be a potentially exact, or near exact, description of universal f…
Universality for 2D Wedge Wetting
A. O. Parry, C. Rascon, A. J. Wood
We study 2D wedge wetting using a continuum interfacial Hamiltonian model which is solved by transfer-matrix methods. For arbitrary binding potentials, we are able to exactly calcu…
Critical Effects at 3D Wedge-Wetting
A. O. Parry, C. Rascon, A. J. Wood
We show that continuous filling or wedge-wetting transitions are possible in 3D wedge-geometries made from (angled) substrates exhibiting first-order wetting transitions and develo…
Interfacial Structural Changes and Singularities in Non-Planar Geometries
C. Rascon, A. O. Parry
We consider phase coexistence and criticality in a thin-film Ising magnet with opposing surface fields and non-planar (corrugated) walls. We show that the loss of translational inv…
