We propose a comprehensive theoretical description of hysteresis in capillary
condensation of gases in mesoporous disordered materials. Applying mean-field
density functional theory to a coarse-grained lattice-gas model, we show that
the morphology of the hysteresis loops is influenced by out-of-equilibrium
transitions that are different on filling and on draining. In particular,
desorption may be associated to a depinning process and be percolation-like
without explicit pore-blocking effects.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
