The excess adsorption $Gamma $ in two-dimensional Ising strips $(infty times L)$ subject to identical boundary fields, at both one-dimensional surfaces decaying in the orthogonal direction $j$ as $-h_1j^{-p}$, is studied for various values of $p$ and along various thermodynamic paths below the critical point by means of the density-matrix renormalization-group method. The crossover behavior between the complete wetting and critical adsorption regimes, occurring in semi-infinite systems, are strongly influenced by confinement effects. Along isotherms $T=const$ the asymptotic power law dependences on the external bulk field, which characterize these two regimes, are undercut by capillary condensation. Along the pseudo first-order phase coexistence line of the strips, which varies with temperature, we find a broad crossover regime where both the thickness of the wetting film and $Gamma$ increase as function of the reduced temperature $tau$ but do not follow any power law. Above the wetting temperature the order parameter profiles are not slab-like but exhibit wide interfacial variations and pronounced tails. Inter alia, our explicit calculations demonstrate that, contrary to opposite claims by Kroll and Lipowsky [Phys. Rev. B {bf 28}, 5273 (1983)], for $p=2$ critical wetting transitions do exist and we determine the corresponding wetting phase diagram in the $(h_1,T)$ plane.
We show that condensation in a capped capillary slit is a continuous interfacial critical phenomenon, related intimately to several other surface phase transitions. In three dimensions (3d), the adsorption and desorption branches correspond to the un
Using general scaling arguments combined with mean-field theory we investigate the critical ($T simeq T_c$) and off-critical ($T e T_c$) behavior of the Casimir forces in fluid films of thickness $L$ governed by dispersion forces and exposed to long-
Using grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations, we have explored the phenomenon of capillary condensation (CC) of Ar at the triple temperature inside infinitely long, cylindrical pores. Pores of radius R= 1 nm, 1.7 nm and 2.5 nm have been investigated
An ultralow-temperature binary mixture of Bose-Einstein condensates adsorbed at an optical wall can undergo a wetting phase transition in which one of the species excludes the other from contact with the wall. Interestingly, while hard-wall boundary
Capillary condensation of water is ubiquitous in nature and technology. It routinely occurs in granular and porous media, can strongly alter such properties as adhesion, lubrication, friction and corrosion, and is important in many processes employed
