Density distribution in a fluid monolayer at a solid surface

Abstract

The density distribution in a two-dimensional system of particles in a periodic field is determined by solving the BBGKY integrodifferential equation in the one-particle distribution function and the result is compared with the corresponding molecular dynamics obtained function. The calculations are performed for a system of Lennard-Jones particles in the field from a surface of fcc crystal. The solution to the BBGKY equation is found to be in excellent agreement with the molecular dynamics result.
