	abstract = {A binary liquid mixture, containing the Lennard-Jones molecules A and B, in equilibrium with a bulk liquid reservoir near the point of phase separation, confined between atomistic chemically patterned walls, is studied by grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. In the bulk, the B-rich phase is stable and the A-rich phase is metastable. The walls bear patches attractive to A; when the walls are close, A-rich liquid bridges condense between the patches. The normal and lateral forces on the walls are measured as a function of the wall separation and of the lateral displacement between the patches on opposite walls. When there are one or two molecular layers in the bridge and the wall lattice constant is close to that of crystalline A, the normal and lateral forces depend strongly on the registry of the wall lattices, varying in an oscillatory manner.},

	abstract = {Bridge phases associated with a phase transition between two liquid phases occur when a two-component liquid mixture is confined between chemically patterned walls. In the bulk the liquid mixture with components A, B undergoes phase separation into an A-rich phase and a B-rich phase. The walls bear stripes attractive to A. In the bridge phase A-rich and B-rich regions alternate. Grand canonical Monte Carlo studies are performed with the alignment between stripes on opposite walls varied. Misalignment of the stripes places the nanoscopic liquid bridges under shear strain. The bridges exert a Hookean restoring force on the walls for small displacements from equilibrium. As the strain increases there are deviations from Hooke{\textquoteright}s law. Eventually there is an abrupt yielding of the bridges. Molecular dynamics simulations show the bridges form or disintegrate on time scales which are fast compared to wall motion and transport of molecules into or from the confined space. Some interesting possible applications of the phenomena are discussed. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.},
