	abstract = {Grand canonical Monte Carlo calculations are used to investigate the phase behavior of a binary mixture of Lennard-Jones particles confined between planar, parallel, chemically patterned plates. Attention is focused on the influence of surface-induced transitions on the net force acting between the plates. In addition to the stable and metastable bulk states that play a crucial role for homogeneous surfaces, for certain patterns and surface separations a bridge phase analogous to that recently reported for one-component systems is observed. It is found that bridge phase formation leads to strongly attractive plate-plate forces that are equal in magnitude to those observed for homogeneous surfaces. The significance of our results for the interaction and behavior of nonuniform macroparticles in solution is discussed. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.},

	abstract = {Grand Canonical Monte Carlo calculations are used to examine the phase behavior of model binary liquid mixtures confined between parallel plates. The stable and metastable states are identified by direct evaluation of the grand potential. It is shown that demixing transitions can lead to long-range attractive forces acting between the plates, verifying earlier predictions based on approximate integral equation theories. The nature of these transitions and the physical origin of the accompanying attractive forces are discussed. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.},

	abstract = {Grand canonical Monte Carlo calculations are used to investigate the demixing transition in model ionic solutions where the solvent is explicitly included. Charged hard sphere ions in hard sphere, dipolar hard sphere and quadrupolar hard sphere solvents are considered and the results are compared with the primitive (continuum solvent) model. For all solvents considered, it is found that the demixing transition is in the same general region of the phase diagram and is roughly described by liquid-vapor equilibrium in the primitive model. However, details such as the precise location of the critical point and the width of the unstable region depend upon the exact nature of the solvent. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics.
