...Literature provides two criteria for increasing the thickness of the interfacial layer: choose a fluid that is more complex than a simple monatomic fluid [5] and choose a particle that exhibits a strong attraction to the fluid [14]....

...In Monte Carlo and MD simulations, adsorbed layers on a solid substrate have been shown to melt at a higher, similar, or lower temperature based on whether the attraction of the adsorbate to the substrate is stronger, comparable, or weaker than the attraction to the bulk liquid, respectively [14], [39]....

...have made efforts to quantify the relative attraction of an adsorbed layer to the substrate versus the bulk liquid [14]....

...Reports in literature confirm that these ceramics have been shown to sustain an ordered adsorbed layer when in contact with certain liquids, making them a good candidate for the experiments in this thesis [14], [37]....

...With a high heat capacity HTF, either the size of the plant's solar collectors can be reduced at the same energy output, reducing the material cost of the plant, or more steam and thus more electricity can be extracted from the same amount of HTF [5], [14], [15]....
