Layering transitions, disordered flat phases, reconstruction, and roughening
We study in light of recent ellipsometry, vapor pressure isotherm and specific-heat measurements on the thermodynamics of adsorbed thin films on graphite, the connection between the layering phase diagrams of thin films on periodic substrates and the thermodynamics of the solid-vapor interface of a semi-infinite crystal. The latter is the limit of the former when the film becomes infinitely thi...
متن کاملLayering transitions at grain boundaries
We review various simplified models that have been advanced to describe layering (complexion) transitions at grain boundaries in multicomponent solids. In particular, we first outline lattice-gas, off-lattice atomistic and thermodynamic models that have been employed to investigate phase-like behavior at segregated grain boundaries. The results of these investigations are summarized in the form...
متن کاملSurface Effects On Wetting and Layering Transitions
Wetting phenomena plays an interesting role in the technological development of materials. Recently, much attention has been directed to the study of magnetic solid films. To understand, theoretically, the effect of surface on wetting and layering transitions in these systems, we will give in this chapter a presentation of several relevant recent theoretical works realized on wetting and layeri...
متن کاملCapillary-wave roughening of surface-induced layering in liquid gallium.
The temperature dependence of surface-induced atomic layering in liquid gallium has been investigated with x-ray reflectivity. The prominent layering peak at qz52.4 Å 21 decreases dramatically upon heating from 22 to 170 °C, but its width stays, unexpectedly, unchanged. The decrease is traced to the temperature dependence of capillary-wave induced surface roughness. The constant width indicates...
