Reexamination of Tolmans law and the Gibbs adsorption equation for curved interfaces


الملخص بالإنكليزية

In manuscript arXiv:1703.08719 [cond-mat.soft], it was claimed that the well-known deduction of Tolmans law is not rigorous, since Tolmans argument implies that two different definitions of the surface tension, called $gamma$ and $bargamma$ in the manuscript, coincide. This claim is retracted as it can be shown by free-energy minimization that $gamma = bargamma$ indeed holds for the Laplace radius. Joachim Gross, Philipp Rehner, Carlos Vega, O{}ivind Wilhelmsen, and the anonymous reviewers of The Journal of Chemical Physics contributed to finding the mistake in the manuscript.
