Abstract

A simple mathematical model of interfacial layer in nanodroplet is developed based on fluid dynamics. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation for the layer growth is also made by the use of Lennard-Jones potential. The theoretical results of time-dependent behavior of the layer are compared with the simulation results. The useful suggestions for future research are presented.
