Table 2. Included in this table are the plasma frequency νp and the damping frequency γ for the Drude model, the measured contact angle θ and the non-retarded Hamaker constant H between liquid II and the following metallic substrates immersed in liquid I: gold, platinum, silver, aluminium.
Material | νp (10 15 s −1 ) | γ (10 12 s −1 ) | θ (°) | H (10 −22 J) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Gold | 2.183 | 6.46 | 62±3 | 18.2 |
Platinum | 1.244 | 16.73 | 76±4 | 5.97 |
Silver | 2.18 | 4.353 | 76±3 | 18.1 |
Aluminium | 3.57 | 19.79 | NW | 30.3 |
Here NW stands for non-wetting.
θ is the angle between the solid surface and the surface of liquid II.
