Critical-temperature and coexistence-curve measurements in thick films. [Cyclohexane--methanol]

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

We report the first observation of a critical-temperature and coexistence-curve dependence on film thickness for a binary fluid mixture (methanol-cyclohexane). The data suggest long-range interactions with mean-field exponent ..beta..=1/2 for film thicknesses, L, in the range 1 ..mu..mapproximately-less-thanLapproximately-less-than6 ..mu..m. (AIP)
