This study introduces a nonequilibrium wetting model where dynamics deviate from detailed balance. The model exhibits first or second-order wetting transitions, with stable coexistence of wet and nonwet states beyond equilibrium predictions.

Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Materials Science
  • Chemical Engineering

Background:

  • Wetting phenomena are crucial in various scientific and industrial applications.
  • Understanding wetting transitions under nonequilibrium conditions is essential for controlling interfacial properties.
  • Existing models often assume detailed balance, limiting their applicability to dynamic systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and analyze a novel model for nonequilibrium wetting in 1+1 dimensions.
  • To investigate the order of the wetting transition based on dynamical process rates.
  • To explore the coexistence of thermodynamically stable states in a dynamic wetting scenario.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a theoretical model for adsorption and desorption processes.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of system dynamics that do not obey detailed balance.
  • Determination of transition orders (first or second) based on parameter rates.

    • Main Results:

    • The model exhibits both first and second-order wetting transitions.
    • A domain of dynamical parameters allows for the coexistence of stable wet (unbound) and nonwet (pinned) states.
    • This stable coexistence extends beyond the transition line, differing from equilibrium behavior.

    Conclusions:

    • Nonequilibrium wetting dynamics can lead to novel phase behaviors not observed in equilibrium.
    • The introduced model provides a framework for studying dynamic interfacial phenomena.
    • The findings have implications for controlling surface properties in systems far from equilibrium.
