A microscopic density functional theory of adsorption of chain molecules on the attractive solid surfaces of crystalline symmetry is developed. The proposed approach is based on the expansions of one-particle functions into ...

We use a version of the density functional theory to study the changes in the height of the tethered layer of chains built of jointed spherical segments with the change of the length and surface density of chains. For the ...

Many objects of nanoscopic dimensions involve fluid-tethered chains interfaces. These systems are of interest for basic science and several applications, in particular for design of nanodevices for specific purposes. We ...

This special issue of "Condensed Matter Physics" is a collection of works prepared to mark the 65th birthday of Prof. Stefan Sokołowski, our good friend, co-worker and member of the Editorial Board of this journal. By ...

We have studied the structure and thermodynamic properties of isotropic three dimensional core-softened fluid by using the second-order Ornstein-Zernike integral equations completed by the hypernetted chain and Percus-Yevick ...

Isothermal-isobaric molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to examine an ample set of properties of the model water-N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) mixture as a function of composition. The SPC-E and TIP4P-Ew water ...

The properties of model solutions consisting of a solute — single curcumin molecule in water, methanol and dimethyl sulfoxide solvents have been studied using molecular dynamics (MD) computer simulations in the isobari ...

We investigate the electric double layer formed between charged walls of a slit-like pore and a solvent primitive model (SPM) for electrolyte solution. The recently developed version of the weighted density functional ...

We investigate the liquid-vapor interface of the restricted primitive model for an ionic fluid using a density functional approach. The applied theory includes the elect rostatic contribution to the free energy functional ...
