摘要
In this paper, we report a comprehensive analysis of the adsorption of argon in cylindrical pores of finite length having different dimensions and adsorbent energies. We determine the mechanisms of adsorption and desorption in the hysteresis region, and use the recently introduced mid-density scheme, as an approximate method, to determine the equilibrium transition, which is found to lie wholly within the loop and closer to the desorption branch. For a given loading in the hysteresis region, we determine the microscopic behaviour of two metastable states (one on the adsorption branch and the other on the desorption branch) and the stable equilibrium state. The adsorption metastable state is characterised by a bulging adsorbed layer, while the desorption metastable state is characterised by a liquid bridge with a meniscus at each end in the shape of a long elliptical cone. The equilibrium state has a configuration that displays a liquid bridge with hemispherically shaped menisci having areas less than those of the two menisci in the desorption metastable state.
