An Interface Phase Transition: Complete to Partial Wetting

March 7, 1980
Author(s)
Michael R. Moldover, John W. Cahn
When two fluid phases are near a critical point, one of them will be excluded from contact with any third phase that happens to be present by a wetting film of the other critical phase. A simple and quite general strategy that may be used to induce a phase

Gravity effects in fluids near the gas liquid critical point

January 1, 1979
Author(s)
Michael R. Moldover, Jan V. Sengers, R W. Gammon, R Hocken
The presence of a gravitational field leads to both practical and fundamental limits of the resolution in critical phenomena experiments in fluids near the gas-liquid critical point. We present equations that yield estimates of the gravitational

Two-scale-factor universality near the critical point of fluids

April 17, 1978
Author(s)
Jan V. Sengers, Michael R. Moldover
Experimental evidence is presented in support of the validity of the hypothesis of two-scale- factor universality for the correlation function of fluids near the gas-liquid critical point.

Critical points of mixtures: An analogy with pure fluids

March 1, 1978
Author(s)
Michael R. Moldover, J S. Gallagher
The thermodynamic properties of vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) states near the critical locus of mixtures are correlated in very close analogy with the techniques used to correlate the properties of pure fluids near a critical point. The only mixture

Ising critical exponents in real fluids: An experiment

July 5, 1976
Author(s)
R Hocken, Michael R. Moldover
We report precise optical measurements of the equations of state of Xe, SF_6, and CO2 very near their critical points (|T - T_c|/T_c 5 x 10^-5). We find that the critical exponents of these fluids in this region are close to the exponents calculated from
