Histogram analysis as a method for determining the line tension by Monte-Carlo simulations
Yuri Djikaev
A method is proposed for determining the line tension, which is the main physical characteristic of a three-phase contact region, by Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations. The key idea of t…

Geometric view of the thermodynamics of adsorption at a line of three-phase contact
Y. Djikaev, B. Widom
We consider three fluid phases meeting at a line of common contact and study the linear excesses per unit length of the contact line (the linear adsorptions Lambda_i) of the fluid'…
