Seclusion of molecular layers in a confined simple liquid
We provide theoretical evidence by using molecular dynamics that a nanoconfined film of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane divides into manifolds of secluded thermodynamic substates. We find equivalence between the splitting into substates and the formation of molecular layers. The seclusion of layers is...
