As a system shrinks down in size, more and more molecules are found in its surface region,
so surface contribution becomes a large or even a dominant part of its thermodynamic …

Fluids confined in small volumes behave differently than fluids in bulk systems. For bulk
systems, a compact summary of the system's thermodynamic properties is provided by …

We model the thermodynamics of local structures within the hard sphere liquid at arbitrary
volume fractions through the morphometric calculation of n-body correlations. We calculate …

A fluid (a gas or a liquid) adsorbed in a porous material can behave very differently from its
bulk counterpart. The advent of various synthesized materials with nanopores and their wide …

We demonstrate that the Hadwiger form of the free energy of a fluid in contact with a wall is
insufficient to describe the low-density behavior of a hard-sphere fluid. This implies that …

Realistic fluid–solid interaction potentials are essential in description of confined fluids
especially in the case of geometric heterogeneous surfaces. Correlated random field is …

We report molecular-dynamics (MD) simulation results for the surface free energy of a hard-
sphere fluid at cylindrical and spherical hard walls of different radii. The precision of the …

We propose a general approach based on morphological thermodynamics for determining
adsorption isotherms, ie, the chemical potential of a confined fluid as a function of its density …

The excess chemical potential μ ex (σ, η) of a test hard spherical particle of diameter σ in a
fluid of hard spheres of diameter σ 0 and packing fraction η can be computed with high …

Several model fluids in contact with planar, spherical, and cylindrical walls are investigated
for small number densities within density functional theory. The dependence of the solid …
