title: On the separation of nonadditive symmetric mixtures in nanoscopic slitlike pores: A simple model for racemic fluids.
abstract: A grand canonical ensemble Monte Carlo simulation method is used to study the adsorption of nonadditive symmetric mixtures of Lennard-Jones spherical particles in nanoscopic slitlike pores. The walls of the pore are assumed to be formed by the parallel (100) planes of the model face centered cubic crystal of adjustable corrugation potential. It is demonstrated that depending on the nonadditivity effects in the mixture and the pore width the condensed phases formed inside the pore may have different structures. In particular, it is shown that the mixture may separate into layers containing only one component each and the stacking may depend on the pore width and properties of the mixture.
