Microscopic structure and properties of an interface between coexisting phases of an associating fluid adsorbed in slitlike pores.
Using density functional theory, we calculate density profiles of an associating fluid in slitlike pores. These profiles characterize an interface between two coexisting, adsorbed phases, e.g., between gaseous and liquid phases formed during capillary condensation. Our study has been carried out for weakly, as well as for strongly, associated fluids confined in pores of different widths. We also investigate the role of the fluid-wall interaction.
