Phase diagram for morphological transitions of wetting films on chemically structured substrates

Soft Condensed Matter 2009-10-31 v1 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

Using an interface displacement model we calculate the shapes of thin liquidlike films adsorbed on flat substrates containing a chemical stripe. We determine the entire phase diagram of morphological phase transitions in these films as function of temperature, undersaturation, and stripe width
