Formation of capillary bridges in two-dimensional atomic force microscope-like geometry
Abstract
We discuss the phase diagram of a fluid confined in a two-dimensional atomic force microscope-like geometry which allows the formation of liquid bridges connecting the opposite walls. The corresponding phase behavior of the fluid is influenced by the phenomenon of complete filling of a wedge.
