Critical Adsorption in Finite and Semi-Infinite Systems: An Evanescent-Wave Ellipsometric Study

对二元液体混合物自由表面上的蒸汽吸附进行了详细的实验研究。在接近液体临界温度时，吸附也变得“临界”，其“轮廓”(CAP)是近年来理论和实验研究的对象。有许多实际结果，如胶体和液体混合物在随机介质中的特殊行为。他们建议使用灵敏的消逝波椭圆偏振测量(EWE)技术来研究RECAP的一些重要问题。

Experiments are proposed on the details of vapor-adsorption at the free surface of a binary liquid mixture. On approaching the liquid critical temperature, the adsorption also becomes "critical"; its "profile" (CAP) has been the object of much research, both theoretical and experimental, in recent years. There are numerous practical consequences such as the particular behavior of colloids and of liquid mixtures in random media. They propose to examine some of the important questions re CAP using the sensitive technique of evanescent-wave ellipsometry (EWE).
