The PIs will carry out theoretical research on both equilibrium                 and dynamic properties of classical liquid and solid systems                    containing multilayer films.  In the area of dynamics they                      propose (1) studies of the growth of absorbed films under both                  wetting and non-wetting conditions and (2) simulations to                       elucidate the effect of wetting on fluid flow in narrow channels.               In the realm of equilibrium phenomena they propose studies of (1)               surface melting, (2) wetting in the presence of structural phase                transitions, and (3) film desorption produced by, e.g.,                         surfactancts.  Emphasis is on the use of lattice models, studied                by Monte Carlo simulations, mean-field theories, and scaling                    analyses.
