Triple-point wetting on rough substrates.
The influence of substrate roughness on the wetting scenario of adsorbed van der Waals films is investigated by theory and experiment. Calculating the bending free energy penalty of a solid sheet picking up the substrate roughness, we show that a finite roughness always leads to triple-point wetting reducing the widths of the adsorbed solid films considerably as compared to that of smooth subst...
متن کاملWetting at Non-Planar Substrates: Unbending & Unbinding
We consider fluid wetting on a corrugated substrate using effective interfacial Hamiltonian theory and show that breaking the translational invariance along the wall can induce an unbending phase transition in addition to unbinding. Both first order and second order unbending transitions can occur at and out of coexistence. Results for systems with short-ranged and long-ranged forces establish ...
متن کاملWetting films on chemically heterogeneous substrates.
Based on a microscopic density functional theory, we investigate the morphology of thin liquid-like wetting films adsorbed on substrates endowed with well-defined chemical heterogeneities. As paradigmatic cases we focus on a single chemical step and on a single stripe. In view of applications in microfluidics, the accuracy of guiding liquids by chemical microchannels is discussed. Finally we gi...
متن کاملWetting at Non-Planar and Heterogeneous Substrates
We report results of wetting on non-planar and heterogeneous surfaces calculated from an effective interfacial Hamiltonian model. The lack of translational invariance along the substrate induces a series of structural changes on the interface such as unbending and a number of non-thermodynamic singularities and can modify the location of the wetting transition. We show that the order of the wet...
متن کاملComplete Wetting of Gluons and Gluinos *
Complete wetting is a universal phenomenon associated with interfaces separating coexisting phases. For example, in the pure gluon theory , at T c an interface separating two distinct high-temperature de-confined phases splits into two confined-deconfined interfaces with a complete wetting layer of confined phase between them. In supersym-metric Yang-Mills theory, distinct confined phases may c...
