The reentrant first-order pore filling transition in
a Lennard-Jones (LJ) fluid confined between the parallel (100) planes of the face centered cubic (fcc) crystal
is studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations in the canonical as well as grand canonical ensembles.
Slit-like pores of the width allowing for the formation of only three adsorbate layers are used.
It is demonstrated that the reentrant first-order pore filling transition,
associated with the condensation of the middle layer,
appears only when the height of the potential barrier between adjacent sites, VD, fulfills a condition
VD∈[VD,min,VD,max]. The lower limit of VD (VD,min) is primarily determined by the
stability of commensurate monolayers formed at both pore walls during the first step of adsorbate
condensation, while the upper limit of VD (VD,max) depends on the stability of the commensurate
three-layer structure. It is also shown that both the misfit between the size of adsorbed atom and the surface lattice as
well
as the pore width have a great influence on the phase behavior of confined fluids. Moreover, the
effects of the phase shift between the confining lattices on the reentrant first-order filling transition
are discussed. 相似文献

A density functional approach is used to study the adsorption of the four-bonding-site model associating Lennard-Jones fluid in slit-Like pores with energetically heterogeneous walls. The fluid-wall potential is qualitatively similar to that invoked by Röcken, P., Somoza, A., Tarazona, P., and Findenegg, G. H., 1999, J. chem. Phys., 108, 8089, i.e. it consists of a homogeneous part that varies in the direction perpendicular to the wall and a periodic part, varying also in one direction parallel to the wall. Both parts are modelled by Lennard-Jones 9,3-type functions. The structure of the adsorbed film is characterized by the local densities of all particles and the densities of the monomers. The phase diagrams are evaluated for several systems characterized by different corrugation of the adsorbing potential. The adsorbing field is strong enough to allow for the layering transition. As well as the formation of the so-called bridge phase that fills the pore space over the most energetic parts of the wall and of capillary condensation, the layering transition is observed within the first layer adjacent to the pore walls. If the adsorbing potential due to each pore wall is shifted in phase by π/2, the bridge phase is not formed. 相似文献

Using a mean-field density functional approach we investigate phase separation transition in a binary mixture of Gaussian-core molecules confined in narrow slit-like pores. We consider pores with repulsive and attractive walls. In the case of fluid confinement in pores with repulsive and non-selective attracting walls, no phase separation in the confined fluid, prior to the bulk separation transition, was observed. However, in the case of pores with the walls selectively attracting fluid particles, we reveal that the separation transition may take place as a two-step process. During the first step the composition change occurs within a few layers adjacent to the pore walls, whereas in the second step, it takes place in the pore interior. 相似文献

A study is reported of adsorption of an associating Lennard-Jones fluid with four associative sites per molecule in a slit-like pore. The density distribution of particles in the pore and thermodynamics properties are evaluated by using a density functional method. It is found that at low temperatures the fluid exhibits a set of layering transitions, followed by capillary condensation. Transitions are localized by analysing the grand canonical potential. The density profiles of particles and the distribution of unbound and differently bonded particles demonstrate changes in the structure of the fluid in the pore along the phase coexistence. The critical temperature is lower for a confined fluid, compared with the bulk counterpart. However, an increase in the energy of association increases the critical temperature. The envelope of the capillary condensation is narrower than the bulk liquid-vapour phase diagram. The dependence of the solvation force on the energy of association and on the bulk density is discussed. 相似文献

AbstractResults of optical investigations of the isotropic-nematic and nematic-smectic A phase transitions in porous polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) films filled with octyl-cyanobihenyl (8CB) liquid crystal (LC) are reported. Samples of porous films of thickness 23 µm with normally oriented cylindrical pores of a radius R ranging from 10 nm to 1000 nm were prepared using the track-etched membrane technology. The dynamic light scattering method was used to probe the nematic orientational fluctuations of confined LC samples. The corresponding relaxation time τ was measured as a function of R and temperature T at slow enough cooling rates (0.3–0.6 K/h) to locate the phase transition temperatures. Changes in τ(T) dependencies relatively sensitivity fingerprint the LC phase transformations. Experimental results are analysed using the Landau-de Gennes-Ginzburg phenomenological approach. 相似文献

Canonical ensemble molecular dynamics is used to investigate the formation of small crystallites in slit-like pores with crystalline walls of (100) fcc symmetry. We study the influence of the pore width and the energetic parameters of the fluid particle-pore wall potential on the structure of the frozen droplets. We analyse the density profiles, in-plane radial distribution functions, in-plane diffusion coefficients, the distributions of Voronoi polygons, as well as the snapshots of consecutive configurations. 相似文献

A review is given of recent developments involving the dynamics of random interfaces formed in the evolution of metastable and unstable systems. Topics which are discussed include interface growth and nonequilibrium dynamical scaling. The possibility of there being dynamical universality classes in first-order phase transitions is also discussed. There are a large number of systems of experimental interest which include binary alloys, binary fluids, and polymer mixtures. Other systems studied by computer simulation include the kinetic Ising, Potts, andZ

When binary mixtures are confined into nanoscopic slit pores, an
intricate interplay between surface enrichment (wetting) of one component
and lateral phase separation occurs. After a brief review of the static
equilibrium phase diagram of such systems, a discussion of the kinetics
of phase separation is given. Considering quenches from an initially
homogeneous distribution of the two species in the slit, it is shown
by molecular dynamics simulation that typically in the initial stages a
stratified structure develops, with enrichment layers of the preferred
component at the walls of the slit pore. Then this laterally homogeneous
structure breaks up into domains, which coarsen with time according to a
power law with a 2/3 exponent. This growth law must be attributed to a
hydrodynamic mechanism, since corresponding simulations of a diffusive
Ginzburg-Landau model yield an exponent of 1/3 only. The relation to
spinodal decomposition in d=2 space dimensions is briefly discussed. 相似文献

The method of Ito stochastic differential equations is used to analyze the influence of external noise in non-equilibrium phase transitions. It is found that external noise deeply affects the behaviour of the system and gives rise to new phenomena not predicted by the deterministic analysis. 相似文献

ABSTRACTConfinement of fluids in porous media leads to the presence of solid–fluid (SF) interfaces that play a key role in many different fields. The experimental characterisation of SF interfacial properties, in particular the surface tension, is challenging or not accessible. In this work, we apply mean-field density functional theory (DFT) to determine the surface tension and also density profile of a Lennard-Jones fluid in slit-shaped pores for realistic amounts of adsorbed molecules. We consider the pore walls to interact with fluid molecules through the well-known 10-4-3 Steele potential. The results are compared with those obtained from Monte Carlo simulations in the Grand Canonical Ensemble (GCMC) using the test-area method. We analyse the effect on the adsorption and interfacial phenomena of volume and energy factors, in particular, the pore diameter and the ratio between SF and fluid–fluid dispersive energy parameters, respectively. Results from DFT and GCMC simulations were found to be comparable, which points to their reliability. 相似文献

The theory of order-disorder phase transitions is discussed for systems with a four-well potential. It is shown that the model
can be generalized to the case of the well-known Ising model in a transverse field. It is also shown that two or three crystalline
phases can emerge as the temperature is reduced.

We have studied a model of a hard sphere fluid adsorbed in a cylindrical pore filled with quenched disordered matrix of hard
sphere particles using Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. The interactions between matrix species and pore walls are
assumed of a hard sphere type. However, the pore walls exert a short-range attraction upon adsorbed fluid particles. We discuss
the adsorption isotherms and the density profiles of fluid particles in pores with different microporosity for several values
of the pore radius. We have observed that like in homogeneous microporous media the adsorption increases with increasing porosity.
However, trends of behavior of the isotherms also reflect layering of adsorbed fluid. The data obtained in this study may
serve as a benchmark for the development of the theory of confined quenched-annealed systems and for computer simulation investigation
of models permitting phase transitions in pores.

In the framework of the Landau theory of phase transitions, the influence of the magnetoelastic interaction on structural transitions in cubic ferromagnetics with a positive first magnetic anisotropy constant is analyzed. It is shown that structural transitions are not accompanied by a reorientation of magnetization in this case. The phase diagrams of such ferromagnetics either contain a termination point of the structural transition or a critical point in which the first-order transition is replaced by a second-order one. Magnetoelastic interaction also leads to the appearance of an interval of the ferromagnetic parameters in which a coupled first-order structural-magnetic transition exists. The phase T?x diagram for Heusler Ni2+x Mn1?x Ga alloys is calculated, which is in good agreement with the experimental phase diagram of these alloys. 相似文献

Using the thermodynamic theory of phase transitions, it is shown that an electric field increases the critical size and work for bubble nucleation in a superheated liquid and impedes the process; it decreases the critical size and work for liquid droplet formation in a supercooled vapour and enhances the process. 相似文献

A recent molecular dynamics (MD) study showed that the friction coefficient of a simple fluid is obtainable by the integral over the autocorrelation function (ACF) of the total force of a Brownian-type particle. The results indicated that mass ratios 50M/m200 of the massive and the light particle suffice to yield accurate friction coefficients. Complementarily, we calculate the random force ACF of the light particle, which is the memory function force of the ACF of the velocity apart from a constant factor, for all the states of the Lennard-Jones system investigated previously. A detailed comparison is presented of the memory function, the total force ACF of the fluid particle, and the total force ACF of the massive particle. The MD results confirm quantitatively our theoretical predictions: (i) on a time scale corresponding to the dynamics of the massive particle the total force ACF of that particle approximates well the memory function, while there are slight differences between them on a short time scale, (ii) the total force ACF of the liquid particle deviates significantly from the memory function already after extremely short time and is thus completely useless for the determination of the friction coefficient, (iii) using the total force ACF of a heavy particle for the determination of the friction constant with mass ratios ofM/m=50 up to 200, the pseudo plateau value of the time integral is often not very noticeable, as the memory function is only approximated and the total force ACF of the massive particle has a negative part at medium times. In those cases the integration has to be extended to include the negative part. 相似文献
