Perturbation theory for solid-liquid interfacial free energies.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A perturbation theory is developed to calculate solid-liquid interfacial free energies, including anisotropy. The method is applied to systems with inverse-power and Lennard-Jones pair potentials as well as to metal systems with embedded-atom model potentials. The results are in reasonable agreement with the corresponding ones obtained from molecular dynamics simulations.

Perturbation theory of solid-liquid interfacial free energies of bcc metals.
A perturbation theory is used to calculate bcc solid-liquid interfacial free energies of metallic systems with embedded-atom model potentials. As a reference system for bcc crystals we used a single-occupancy cell, hard-sphere bcc system. Good agreements between the perturbation theory results and the corresponding results from simulations are found. The strategy to extract hard-sphere bcc soli...
متن کاملVery thin solid-on-liquid structures: the interplay of flexural rigidity, membrane force, and interfacial force
This paper studies a solid film lying on a liquid layer, which in turn lies on a solid substrate. It is well known that, subject to a compressive membrane force, the solid film wrinkles, dragging the liquid underneath to flow. When the solid film is very thin, the ratio between the number of atoms at the surface and that in the bulk becomes significant, so that surface stress contributes to the...
متن کاملAccurate method to calculate liquid and solid free energies for embedded atom potentials
Using a perturbation theory with a hard-sphere reference system we have directly calculated free energies of fluid and solid phases of aluminum with an embedded atom model potential. Unlike other approaches such as thermodynamic integration, we do not require any simulations. Moreover, the free energies of the two different phases are calculated in a single approach, unlike approximations like ...
متن کاملCalculations of free energies in liquid and solid phases: fundamental measure density-functional approach.
In this paper, a theoretical description of the free energies and correlation functions of hard-sphere (HS) liquid and solid phases is developed using fundamental measure density-functional theory. Within the framework of Weeks-Chandler-Andersen perturbation theory, free energies of liquid and solid phases with many interaction potentials can be obtained from these characteristics of the HS sys...
متن کاملCorrelation between Surface Free Energy Parameters of Solids and Separation Efficiency in Mineral Beneficiation
Knowledge of surface free energies (and its components) between two entities is important. They dictate not only the strength of the interaction, but also control the processes such as the stability of aqueous colloidal suspensions, the dynamics of molecular self-assembly, wetting, spreading, deinking and adhesion (1-4). Many of the mineral processing techniques, e.g. froth flotation, selective...
