29. A nucleation process is not required for wedge-like pores, and the condensation hysteresis in these systems is believed to arise, in part, from the contact angle hysteresis of the condensed phase on the pore walls.
30. Even though we vary the separation of the confining pore walls instead of the relative vapor pressure of the vapor under study, it is assumed to be equivalent to varying the relative vapor pressure around a pore of fixed geometry. Thus, this sort of situation arises when porous media are filled or emptied by gradual variation of the external vapor pressure.
31. The term "thread" may be misleading given that its lateral width can be much larger than its length. Nonetheless we refer to this geometry as thread in this paper so as to distinguish it from a "bridge", which we refer to as the entire fluid entity between the two mica walls.
32. Because of the small contact angles, θ, of the liquids used in this study (<10°), we approximated cos θ ≈ 1 in the calculations for all the liquids. We also neglected the low positive curvature (that goes around the contact zone) with respect to the much higher negative curvature that is perpendicular to it.
33. K is from H above which the liquid bridge becomes unstable and clearly starts to evaporate. This method yields the estimate of P/P0́ ≈ 0.87.
34. In the study by Buffone and Sefiane the difference in the cooling effect is with respect to the "vertical direction", whereas here it is referring to the "lateral direction" in the inset of Figure 1.
