A critical review is given of status and perspectives of Monte Carlo simulations that address
bulk and interfacial phase transitions of ferromagnetic Ising models. First, some basic …

We develop a unified and generally applicable theory of solvation of small and large apolar
species in water. In the former, hydrogen bonding of water is hindered yet persists near the …

Polymer mixtures and block copolymers in thin film geometry find much recent attention,
both theoretically [1–63] and experimentally [5, 7, 8, 29, 64–122]. This interest arises …

This chapter emphasizes the fundamental approaches to the study of waterrock interactions
and their ramifications in weathering, global change, environmental concerns anji other …

This article gives a survey of phase transitions in adsorbed films on well defined surfaces of
square and rectangular symmetry of the lattice. The discussion concentrates on the effects of …

The phase behaviour of a simple fluid or Ising magnet (at temperatures above its
roughening transition) confined between parallel walls that exert opposing surface fields h …

Ising magnets with a nearest neighbor ferromagnetic exchange interaction J on a simple
cubic lattice are studied in a thin film geometry using extensive Monte Carlo simulations. The …

Abstract By extensive Monte Carlo simulations of a lattice gas model we have studied the
controversial nature of the gas-liquid transition of a fluid confined between two parallel …

In a simple fluid or Ising magnet in a thin film geometry confined between walls a distance D
apart that exert opposing surface fields, an interface parallel to the walls is stabilized below …

We show that condensation in a capped capillary slit is a continuous interfacial critical
phenomenon, related intimately to several other surface phase transitions. In three …
