Activated wetting of nanostructured surfaces: reaction coordinates, finite size effects, and simulation pitfalls
Matteo Amabili, Simone Meloni, Alberto Giacomello +1
A liquid in contact with a textured surface can be found in two states, Wenzel and Cassie. In the Wenzel state the liquid completely wets the corrugations while in the Cassie state…

Mechanism of the Cassie-Wenzel transition via the atomistic and continuum string methods
Alberto Giacomello, Simone Meloni, Marcus Mueller +1
The string method is a general and flexible strategy to compute the most probable transition path for an activated process (rare event). We apply here the atomistic string method i…
