Monte Carlo simulations of interfaces in polymer blends
We review recent simulation studies of interfaces between immiscible homopolymer phases. Special emphasis is given to the presentation of efficient simulation techniques and powerful methods of data analysis, such as the analysis of capillary wave ...

Diblock copolymers at a homopolymer-homopolymer-interface: a Monte Carlo simulation [PDF]
The properties of diluted symmetric A-B diblock copolymers at the interface between A and B homopolymer phases are studied by means of Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of the bond fluctuation model.

SURFACE TENSION AND INTERFACIAL FLUCTUATIONS IN d-DIMENSIONAL ISING MODEL [PDF]
The surface tension of rough interfaces between coexisting phases in 2D and 3D Ising models are discussed in view of the known results and some original calculations presented in this paper. The results are summarized in a formula, which allows to interpolate the corrections to finite-size scaling between two and three dimensions. The physical meaning

Imaging spectroscopy of quantum wells with interfacial fluctuations: A theoretical description [PDF]
We present a theoretical approach for the simulation of scanning local optical spectroscopy in disordered quantum wells (QWs). After a single realization of the disorder potential, we calculate spectra on a mesh of points on the QW plane, thus obtaining a three-dimensional matrix of data from which we construct two-dimensional spectroscopic images of ...

Coupled Hamiltonians and Three Dimensional Short-Range Wetting Transitions
We address three problems faced by effective interfacial Hamiltonian models of wetting based on a single collective coordinate \ell representing the position of the unbinding fluid interface.

Interfacial fluctuations in an ideal block copolymer resist
We use field-theoretic computer simulations to show that intrinsic interfacial fluctuations may place limits on the use of block copolymer materials as resists for the nanofabrication of next-generation electronics devices. Even for an ideal system, our simulations demonstrate that the magnitude of the interfacial fluctuations is of the same order as ...
