Abstract

The critical adsorption of nitrogen inside a capacitor gap with a simple parallel plate geometry and open gap of 3 μm was measured. The analogous phenomenon of critical adsorption in binary fluids near the critical demixing point was confirmed. The results demonstrate a monotonic increase in the adsorption between t=5×10-4 and t=10-6, which was consistent with theoretical prediction and without any indication of desorption. It was shown that the adsorption saturates below t=3x×10-6.
