These behaviours follow common sense, since increasing A s,α increases the surface energy of the corresponding phase. Thus, generally, the surface tends to favour the phase with the smaller value of A s,α . Finally, we note that the map in Fig. is asymmetric for the same reason that the polynomial fit coefficients in Eqs. ( ) are different: in our model water and dodecane are different liquids with different densities and different bead interactions.
