Critical point wetting
It is shown that in any two-phase mixture of fluids near their critical point, contact angles against any third phase become zero in that one of the critical phases completely w...
Some effects of long range forces on interfacial phenomena
The conventional theory of interfaces (with a free energy term ∼ (∇ρ) 2 where p is the appropriate density) may be qualitatively incorrect, because of long range effects associa...
Critical Wetting in Three Dimensions
A critical wetting (or interface delocalization) transition occurs when the interface between two fluid phases becomes infinitesimally bound to an attracting wall. It is shown t...
Field-theoretic techniques and critical dynamics. II. Ginzburg-Landau stochastic models with energy conservation
The critical dynamics of a stochastic Ginzburg-Landau model of an $N$-component order parameter coupled to a conserved-energy-density field is studied with the help of field-the...
Orientational freezing in three dimensions: Mean-field theory
An analysis of orientational order in dense, three-dimensional liquids is presented. The alignment of neighboring regions of local orientational order with both icosahedral and ...
