TLDR
In this article, the behavior of a monolayer, which occupies initially a bounded region on an ideal crystalline surface and then evolves in time due to random hopping of the monolayers particles, is studied.About:

Precursor films in wetting phenomena
TL;DR: The available experimental observations of microscopic, i.e. molecularly thin, films in various liquid-on-solid and solid- on-solid systems, as well as the corresponding theoretical models and studies aimed at understanding their formation and spreading dynamics are reviewed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used tapping mode atomic force microscopy to investigate the spreading of molecularly thin precursor films emerging from drops of ionic liquids that partially wet smooth mica surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wetting on structured substrates
TL;DR: In this article, a model for the dynamics of spreading of monolayers on homogeneous substrates is presented, which reveals a complex spatio-temporal structure of the extracted monolayer, which includes the emergence of interfaces and scaling properties of density profiles.

A biased intruder in a dense quiescent medium: looking beyond the force?velocity relation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the dynamics of a biased intruder (BI) pulled by a constant force F through a dense molecular crowding environment modelled as a lattice gas of unbiased, randomly moving hard core particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lateral diffusion in substrate-supported lipid monolayers as a function of ambient relative humidity.
TL;DR: Many biological processes such as vesicle fusion and recognition processes involve dehydration/hydration cycles, and it can be expected that the water activity significantly affects the kinetics of these processes in a manner similar to that examined in the present work.

Physical chemistry of surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the nature and properties of liquid interfaces, including the formation of a new phase, nucleation and crystal growth, and the contact angle of surfaces of solids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wetting: statics and dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an attempt towards a unified picture with special emphasis on certain features of "dry spreading": (a) the final state of a spreading droplet need not be a monomolecular film; (b) the spreading drop is surrounded by a precursor film, where most of the available free energy is spent; and (c) polymer melts may slip on the solid and belong to a separate dynamical class, conceptually related to the spreading of superfluids.

Lattice-Gas Automata for the Navier-Stokes Equation
TL;DR: It is shown that a class of deterministic lattice gases with discrete Boolean elements simulates the Navier-Stokes equation, anc, and can be used to design simple, massively parallel computing machines.
Book
Physics at Surfaces
TL;DR: Physics at Surfaces as discussed by the authors is a unique graduate-level introduction to the physics and chemical physics of solid surfaces and atoms and molecules that interact with solid surfaces, and it provides a synthesis of the entire field of surface physics from the perspective of a modern condensed matter physicist with a healthy interest in chemical physics.
