Thermally activated motion of a contact line over defects
At the nanometer scale, the motion of a contact line separating a dry from a wet region is limited by the presence of surface heterogeneities that pin it. Here we revisit the seminal model proposed by Joanny and de Gennes to include the influence of thermal noise and viscosity using a Langevin model...
