A density functional approach to adsorption and phase behavior of a simple fluid from gas phase on a surface modified with a small amount of grafted chains is presented. The chains are modeled as freely jointed tangent spheres with end segments attached to the surface. The segments and gas molecules interact via the Lennard–Jones potential. We have found that the presence of preadsorbed chains considerably affects wettability of solid surfaces. An increase in the amount of grafted chains leads to a crossover between prewetting and layering transitions. This crossover occurs by merging of successive layering transitions.

AbstractWe have used ion channeling to examine the lattice configuration of deuterium in Mg doped GaN grown by MOCVD. The deuterium is introduced by exposure to gas phase or ECR plasmas. A density functional approach including lattice relaxation, was used to calculate total energies for various locations and charge states of hydrogen in the wurtzite Mg doped GaN lattice. Results of channeling measurements are compared with channeling simulations for hydrogen at lattice locations predicted by density functional theory.
