Physicochemical Modelling of Solid/Liquid Interfacial Phenomena

The proposed modelling of solid/liquid interfacial phenomena consists in relating the main experimental parameter – contact angle θ for metals or alloys on different substrates to combinations of the interatomic interaction parameters of the phases in contact. Physically, these interatomic interaction parameters are analogous to the electronic density distribution in the first and second coordination spheres of the crystallographic lattice of the component, to the bond length, and to the electrochemical factors. The contact angle θ of some alloys on AlN substrates in the case of non-reactive or reactive wetting is calculated.
