CAPILLARY CONDENSATION AND PREWETTING BETWEEN SPHERES

The authors use an interface potential approach to consider the adsorption of a fluid with long-range interactions onto a substrate of two adjacent spheres. The interplay between prewetting-like thin-thick transitions and capillary condensation is discussed.
