Atomic force microscopy (AFM) force-distance curves have become a fundamental tool in
several fields of research, such as surface science, materials engineering, biochemistry and …

Hydrophobicity manifests itself differently on large and small length scales. This review
focuses on large length scale hydrophobicity, particularly on dewetting at single …

The force as a function of separation has been measured between two molecularly smooth
surfaces immersed in the liquid octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (OMCTS) whose molecules …

The statistical mechanics of inhomogeneous systems is usefully discussed from at least two
complementary approaches:(i) the virial route, in which calculations of the structure and the …

The raw ionic solvation free energies computed from atomistic (explicit-solvent) simulations
are extremely sensitive to the boundary conditions (finite or periodic system, system shape …

We study the approach to complete wetting by gas at the interface between a repulsive wall
and dense liquid, paying particular attention to the basic model consisting of a hard-wall …

We have investigated the behaviour of the pairwise distribution function for Sullivan's model
of a gas adsorbed on a solid substrate. We show that in the approach to complete wetting …

The statistical mechanical theory of the density distribution through the liquid–vapor
interface has been re‐examined for single‐component monatomic substances. Particles are …

We examine the usefulness of the integral equations derived from the HNC and PY closures
of the wall-particle Ornstein-Zernike equation for describing the density profile and pairwise …

Classical equilibrium statistical mechanics of one‐dimensional hard cores in an arbitrary
external field is reviewed. The grand canonical potential is shown to be an extension of local …
