Free-energy calculations square-well model

A conceptually different approach to the calculaticHi of interfacial tensions is the use of the generalized square-gradient approach as embodied in the work of Cahn and Hilliard [216]. The Cahn-Hilliard theory provides a means for relating a particular equation of state, based on a specific statistical mechanical model, to surface and interfacial properties. The local free energy, g, in a region of nonuniform composition will depend on the local composition as well as the composition of the immediate environment. Thus, g can be expressed in terms of an expansion in the local composition and the local composition derivatives. Use of an appropriate free energy expression derived from statistical mechanics permits calculation of the surface or interfacial tension. [Pg.151]
