Critical Behavior of Interfaces: Roughening and Wetting Phenomena
The critical behavior of interfaces is discussed from a theoretical point of view. Two classes of critical phenomena will be considered: (i) Roughening phenomena related to changes in the interfacial morphology; and (ii) Wetting phenomena related to changes in the interfacial structure. In two dimensions, the critical behavior can be determined exactly for a variety of models. As a result, one ...
متن کاملCritical wetting phenomena : observation of hydrodynamic instabilities
2014 In critical wetting phenomena, the situation of a heavier liquid residing on top of lighter liquid is observed. The consequences of the Rayleigh-Taylor mode of instability in the semicritical wetting layer in a binary liquid mixture are investigated. We also report experimental observations in support of our theory, in the critical binary liquid mixture cyclohexane + acetonitrile. J. Physi...
متن کاملCritical Phenomena, Strings, and Interfaces
Traditionally, the participants of the “Ahrenshoop International Symposium on the Theory of Elementary Particles” form two nearly disjoint subsets, consisting of string theorists and lattice gauge theorists. So, for a plenary speaker the question arises: is it possible to give a talk which addresses both of these species? I don’t have an answer, but this contribution is meant as an attempt. Con...

متن کاملAvoided critical behavior in dynamically forced wetting.
A solid object can be coated by a nonwetting liquid since a receding contact line cannot exceed a critical speed. In this Letter we study the dynamical wetting transition at which a liquid film gets deposited by withdrawing a vertical plate out of a liquid reservoir. It has recently been predicted that this wetting transition is critical with diverging time scales and coincides with the disappe...
