Finite-size effects in presence of gravity: The behavior of the susceptibility in and films near the liquid-vapor critical point
Daniel Dantchev, Joseph Rudnick, M. Barmatz
We study critical point finite-size effects on the behavior of susceptibility of a film placed in the Earth's gravitational field. The fluid-fluid and substrate-fluid interactions…
The confinement free energies of non-ideal branched polymers and ideal unbranched polymers are the same
Rouzbeh Ghafouri, Joseph Rudnick, Robijn Bruinsma
We use the method of dimensional reduction to show that a branching polymer with excluded volume interaction confined between two flat plates has, in the thermodynamic limit, a con…
Thinning of superfluid films below the critical point
Roya Zandi, Aviva Shackell, Joseph Rudnick +2
Experiments on He films reveal an attractive Casimir-like force at the bulk -point, and in the superfluid regime. Previous work has explained the magnitude of this force at…
Finite-size effects on the behavior of the susceptibility in van der Waals films under boundary conditions
Daniel Dantchev, Joseph Rudnick, M. Barmatz
We study critical point finite-size effects in the case of the susceptibility of a film in which interactions are characterized by a van der Waals-type power law tail. The geometry…
