Critical Drying of Liquids
Robert Evans, Maria C. Stewart, Nigel B. Wilding
We report a detailed simulation and classical density functional theory study of the drying transition in a realistic model fluid at a smooth substrate. This transition (in which t…

The Local Compressibility of Liquids near Non-Adsorbing Substrates: A Useful Measure of Solvophobicity and Hydrophobicity?
Robert Evans, Maria C. Stewart
We investigate the suitability of the local compressibility chi(z) as a measure of the solvophobicity or hydrophobicity of a substrate. Defining the local compressibility as the de…

Layering Transitions and Solvation Forces in an Asymmetrically Confined Fluid
Maria C. Stewart, Robert Evans
We consider a simple fluid confined between two parallel walls (substrates), separated by a distance L. The walls exert competing surface fields so that one wall is attractive and…
