Molecular dynamics simulation of ultra-thin liquid bridging between surfaces having two-dimensional roughness

摘要

By using the molecular dynamics, formation of molecularly thin liquid bridge between solid surfaces having molecular-scale roughness was simulated. Upon comparing the projected profiles of liquid bridges between solid surfaces with different roughness, it was found that the layered molecular arrangement inside the liquid bridge was disturbed by the molecular-scale roughness on the surfaces and the projected profiles were able to be approximated by arcs.
