Structure of highly confined fluids: mixture of polar and nonpolar macroparticles in an external field.
In this paper we study the structure of highly confined mixtures of polar and nonpolar macroparticles in an external field by Monte Carlo simulation in the canonical ensemble. Without attempting a systematic investigation of the model, several effects including confinement, polarization, and solvation forces are considered. In particular, we show that layering at different length scales can be obtained in mixtures of differently sized particles subject to an external electric field.
