Clusters interaction energy

Similar expressions can be written for the mean force potentials of clusters higher than the ternary one, though not displayed here. The quantity U j is referred to as the binary cluster (interaction) energy, and Auijm and Auijmn as the residual (or irreducible) potentials of ternary and quaternary clusters, respectively. 

According to eq 2.4, as does not become unity at z = 0 (i.e., = 0) unless y 0, which appears to contradict the definition of as, which says that as = 1 at the 6 temperature. However, this does not matter. In the binary cluster approximation, the 6 condition is equivalent to = 0. But when the ternary cluster interaction energy is taken into account, this equivalence no longer holds... 

Problems Concerning Ternary Cluster Interaction Energy... 

As repeatedly noted thus far, the residual ternary cluster interaction energy is expected to play a role in poor solvents near 9. Thus, since the pioneering work of Orofino and Flory [13] many theoretical studies have been made to clarify its effects on chain dimensions and the second virial coefficient. However, they have turned out to reveal some serious problems, which still remain unsolved.

Although this estimate of the interaction energy between defects is simplistic, it demonstrates that a fair number of defects may cluster together rather than remain as isolated point defects, provided, of course, that they can diffuse through the crystal. It is difficult, experimentally, to determine the absolute numbers of point defects present in a crystal, and doubly so to determine the percentage that might be associated rather than separate. It is in both of these areas that theoretical calculations are able to bear fruit. 

Consider the formation of hemispherical nuclei of mercury on a graphite electrode. The intefacial tension of mercury with aqueous solutions is about 426 mN m-1. From Eq. (10.16) calculate the critical cluster sizes for 7 = —10, —100, —200 mV. Take z — 1 and ignore the interaction energy of the base of the hemisphere with the substrate.

In the equations developed by Reilly and Wood (15) from the cluster Integral model (1 6), y+ is calculated in complex solutions from excess properties of single salt solutions. Note that the cluster Integral approach 1s based upon terms which represent the contributions of pair-wise ion interactions 1n various types of clusters to the potential interaction energy. Then, the partition function and the excess properties of the solution can be evaluated. The procedure is akin to the vlrial expansion 1n terms of clusters.
