Boundary tension: From wetting transition to prewetting critical point

摘要: We develop a mean‐field model free energy which we use in van der Waals‐like theory to study the prewetting transition system of two fluid phases when an incipient third phase may wet interface between them. The line transitions diagram is determined from bulk wetting critical point. As point approached, coexisting surface become more and alike, they identical at values boundary tension one‐dimensional formed by edge‐on meeting are calculated exactly (numerically) range data points obtained extrapolated finite positive zero These results consistent with related earlier work. After scaling d...
