Can I read A Wetting Layer Breaks the Ice Rules on EtoBox?

A Wetting Layer Breaks the Ice Rules by Peter J. Feibelman is a Physics and Astronomy article available to read on EtoBox.

What is A Wetting Layer Breaks the Ice Rules about?

Ab initio calculations for a water layer on Ru(0 0 0 1) predict that to preserve O-Ru bonds, a substantial percentage of weaker, O-HÁ Á ÁO bonds will optimally be broken, even in its ground state. Thus, the axiom that wetting only occurs if water molecules bind more strongly to a surface than to each other is fundamental to understanding this wetting layerÕs structure. X-ray photoelectron spectra confirm the present prediction of $6.7% broken H-bonds in the wetting layer at 150 K.

Who reads A Wetting Layer Breaks the Ice Rules?

It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Physics and Astronomy.
