Abstract

In this paper we investigate the phase behavior of a "simple" fluid confined to a chemically heterogeneous slit pore of nanoscopic width s(z) by means of Monte Carlo simulations in the grand canonical ensemble. The fluid-substrate interaction is purely repulsive except for elliptic regions of semiaxes A and B attracting fluid molecules. On account of the interplay between confinement (i.e., s(z)) and chemical decoration, three fluid phases are thermodynamically permissible, namely, gaslike and liquidlike phases and a "bridge phase" where the molecules are preferentially adsorbed by the attractive elliptic patterns and span the gap between the opposite substrate surfaces. Because of their lack of cylindrical symmetry, bridge phases can be exposed to a torsional strain 0
