title: Nucleation of fluids confined between parallel walls: a lattice Monte Carlo study.
abstract: Nucleation phenomena in lattice gas models of simple and chain molecules confined in slitlike pores are studied using Monte Carlo methods. Finite-size scaling is used to investigate the nature of phase transitions accompanying the formation of layers at the pore walls. It is demonstrated that nucleation leads to the symmetry breaking and the formation of nuclei at one wall only.
