Adsorption of Ar on planar surfaces studied with a density functional theory

The adsorption of Ar on planar structureless substrates of alkali metals, alkaline-earth metal Mg, CO2, and Au was analyzed by applying a density functional formalism which includes a recently proposed effective attractive pair potential conditioned to Ar. It is shown that this approach reproduces t...

description The adsorption of Ar on planar structureless substrates of alkali metals, alkaline-earth metal Mg, CO2, and Au was analyzed by applying a density functional formalism which includes a recently proposed effective attractive pair potential conditioned to Ar. It is shown that this approach reproduces the experimental surface tension of the liquid-vapor interface over the entire bulk coexistence curve for temperatures T spanning from the triple point Tt up to the critical point Tc. The wetting properties were studied over the entire range temperatures Tt Tc. It was found that Ar wets all the investigated surfaces.
