The Discrete Site Sticky Wall Model.
Abstract
The interface between a solid and a liquid is modelled by a flat surface with an array of sticky sites which could be placed on a regular lattice, or also randomly. It is first shown that the thermodynamics and distribution functions can be expressed entirely in terms of the distribution functions of the system without the sticky sites. Furthermore, the problem of the occupation of the sites (equivalent to the adsorption isotherm), is a lattice problem which exhibits phase transitions and critical points. A simple application to the interface between a solid and a fluid of hard spheres is discussed.
