High-Temperature Wetting and Dewetting Dynamics of Silver Droplets on Molybdenum Surfaces

The wetting and dewetting behaviors of Ag droplets on Mo(100), Mo(110), and Mo(111) surfaces were investigated over 1200-2000 K via molecular dynamics simulations. We used the diffusion energy barriers of Ag droplets on the three surfaces to analyze the phenomenon of different precursor films and ad...

Zusammenfassung:The wetting and dewetting behaviors of Ag droplets on Mo(100), Mo(110), and Mo(111) surfaces were investigated over 1200-2000 K via molecular dynamics simulations. We used the diffusion energy barriers of Ag droplets on the three surfaces to analyze the phenomenon of different precursor films and adsorption layers on the different surfaces. Alloying enabled the Mo(111) surface better wettability in both Mo(110) and Mo(111) surfaces, where there were significant precursor films. We observed that the dewetting rate was the fastest on the surface with the densest adsorption layer. Simulations proved that the same molecular kinetic theory model was applicable to not only the wetting process but also the dewetting process on the same surface. We also provided evidence to support the fact that an increased temperature could reduce the time to reach equilibrium for the wetting and dewetting processes
