Our understanding of interfacial phenomena at the surfaces of critical systems, and in
particular at the surfaces of critical binary liquid mixtures, has improved significantly in the …

If a fluctuating medium is confined, the ensuing perturbation of its fluctuation spectrum
generates Casimir-like effective forces acting on its confining surfaces. Near a continuous …

The analysis of optical data for critical adsorption from a fluid (or fluid mixture) onto a wall or
interface is discussed theoretically with emphasis on elucidating the universal, scaled …

The analysis of published experimental data for seven different binary liquid mixtures allows
us to test the concept of universality for critical phenomena at interfaces and to compare the …

We consider a binary fluid mixture, which lies in the one-phase region near the demixing
critical point. Short-range interactions between the mixture components and a solid surface …

Mixtures of lutidine and water imbibed in porous Vycor have been studied using Raman,
elastic, and quasielastic light scattering. At low temperatures, adsorption of lutidine on the …

Subpicosecond optical birefringence techniques have been employed to probe directly the
rotational dynamics of topologically different molecular liquids confined within porous sol-gel …

Critical properties of a liquid film between two planar walls are investigated in the canonical
ensemble, within which the total number of fluid particles, rather than their chemical …

We consider a binary fluid mixture, which lies in the one-phase region near the demixing
critical point, and study its transport through a capillary tube linking two large reservoirs. We …
