C02 - DFT Model
Geometry: Slit
Substrate: Carbon
Category: Porosity
Method: Carbon dioxide at 273 K
Model isotherms were calculated using the non-local prescription of Tarazona, employing
molecular parameters derived from the known bulk properties of carbon dioxide.
AR - Modified Density Functional Model
Geometry: Free surface
Substrate: Any
Category: Surface energy
Method: Argon at 87K
This model was produced in the same manner as the N2 Modified Density Functional model listed
earlier, except applicable to argon adsorbed at 87.3 K.
