Effect of Confinement and Heterogeneity on Phase Behavior: A Density Functional Approach
Density functional theory of statistical mechanics in a square gradient approximation was used to study nucleation in confined systems such as a cylindrical pore and in-between two cylindrical disks. This approximation was further applied to study the evaporation and condensation in nanopores with f...
