Wetting and spreading

D Bonn, J Eggers, J Indekeu, J Meunier, E Rolley - Reviews of modern physics, 2009 - APS
Wetting phenomena are ubiquitous in nature and technology. A solid substrate exposed to
the environment is almost invariably covered by a layer of fluid material. In this review, the …

Non-sticking drops

D Quéré - Reports on progress in Physics, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
While the behaviour of large amounts of liquid is dictated by gravity, surface forces become
dominant at small scales. They have for example the remarkable ability to make droplets …

Does surface roughness amplify wetting?

A Malijevský - The Journal of chemical physics, 2014 - pubs.aip.org
Any solid surface is intrinsically rough on the microscopic scale. In this paper, we study the
effect of this roughness on the wetting properties of hydrophilic substrates. Macroscopic …

Condensation in a capped capillary is a continuous critical phenomenon

AO Parry, C Rascón, NB Wilding, R Evans - Physical review letters, 2007 - APS
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 …

Wetting properties of molecularly rough surfaces

M Svoboda, A Malijevský, M Lísal - The Journal of chemical physics, 2015 - pubs.aip.org
We employ molecular dynamics simulations to study the wettability of nanoscale rough
surfaces in systems governed by Lennard-Jones (LJ) interactions. We consider both smooth …

Density functional study of complete, first-order and critical wedge filling transitions

A Malijevský, AO Parry - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
We present numerical studies of complete, first-order and critical wedge filling transitions, at
a right angle corner, using a microscopic fundamental measure density functional theory …

Complete wetting of nanosculptured substrates

M Tasinkevych, S Dietrich - Physical review letters, 2006 - APS
Complete wetting of geometrically structured substrates by one-component fluids with long-
ranged interactions is studied theoretically. We consider periodic arrays of rectangular or …

Filling and wetting transitions at grooved substrates

A Malijevský - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
The wetting and filling properties of a fluid adsorbed on a solid grooved substrate are
studied by means of a microscopic density functional theory. The grooved substrates are …

Covariance for cone and wedge complete filling

C Rascón, AO Parry - Physical review letters, 2005 - APS
Interfacial phenomena associated with fluid adsorption in two dimensional systems have
recently been shown to exhibit hidden symmetries, or covariances, which precisely relate …

Condensation and evaporation transitions in deep capillary grooves

A Malijevský, AO Parry - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the order of capillary condensation and evaporation transitions of a simple fluid
adsorbed in a deep capillary groove using a fundamental measure density functional theory …
