The equilibrium state of the layer corresponds to a minimum of the free energy
per chain, Fc^ain- In turn, Fc/,ain incorporates two contributions: An elastic term,
Fei, allowing for the loss of configurational entropy upon stretching and an ...

The inflection points of the free-energy curve define points of the spinodal in the
temperature-composition curve (Fig.2.). The spinodal represents the boundary
between the areas of metastable and unstable solutions. Within the metastable ...

In particular, the tilt of the major axis of the LCP with respect to the surface
becomes important as a route to lower the free energy of the system6'9.
Furthermore, the tilt occurs as a second order phase transition. These effects
involve an extra ...
