The microscopic origin of droplet line tension
Franziska Aurbach, Fei Wang, Britta Nestler
The size dependence of the equilibrium droplet contact angle is governed by line tension. In this work, we identify a contribution to line tension arising from gravitational effect…

Slip and friction at fluid-solid interfaces: Concept of adsorption layer
Haodong Zhang, Fei Wang, Britta Nestler
When a fluid flows past a solid surface, its macroscopic motion arises from a subtle interplay between microscopic hydrodynamic and thermodynamic effects at the fluid-solid interfa…
