We have studied the wetting behavior of Ne adsorbed on solid CO2 by means of a quartz crystal microbalance technique. In contrast to recent density functional calculations that predict a prewetting transition near the bulk critical point of Ne, we have observed the more common triple-point wetting behavior
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
