We have studied the wetting behavior of neon on the surface of solid CO2 by means of density functional calculations. Our results suggest that a wetting transition occurs at a temperature about 5 K below the bulk critical temperature, accompanied by the characteristic first-order prewetting transitions slightly away from coexistence.

Abstract
We have studied the wetting behavior of neon on the surface of solid CO2 by means of density functional calculations. Our results suggest that a wetting transition occurs at a temperature about 5 K below the bulk critical temperature, accompanied by the characteristic first-order prewetting transitions slightly away from coexistence.
