Nonlocal theory of surface tension in simple liquids
É. A. Arinstein Tyumen State University
Abstract:
We consider a method for singling out the surface contribution in the form of
a nonlocal functional of the transition-layer structure function from the
general expression for the thermodynamic potential of the two-phase
liquid–vapor system. A possibility of using the relation between
the thermodynamic potentials of equilibrium volumetric and surface phases to
modify the resulting expansion is indicated. We obtain an analogue of Euler's
first integral in the variational problem for the surface-energy functional
and give some estimates for the parameters characterizing the surface layer
and its asymptotic properties.
Keywords:
phase equilibrium, surface tension, structure function, correlation functions, thermodynamic potential.
