摘要: We analyse a model free-energy functional of two spatially varying densities. determine the interfacial density profiles and tensions in terms parameter we locate first-order wetting transition at particular value that parameter. For those states which there is three-phase contact line calculate tension. As one angles decreases from 120° to 0° tension increases negative positive values perhaps diverges + ∞ as approached. The origin this difference behaviour earlier models discussed.
