The Gibbs Treatment of Interfaces
Allan J. B. Spaull
Brunel University, Middlesex UB8 3 PH, United Kingdom
Cover
March 2004
Vol. 81 No. 3
p. 423
Abstract
An overview of Gibbs's treatment of interfaces is given, with emphasis on curved interfaces. In particular, the derivation of the pivotal equation he uses to determine the location of the Gibbs dividing surface in which the curvature constants vanish is discussed. There is little detail as to how Gibbs derives his equation.
Supplement
Detailed discussion of Gibbs treatment of interfaces is available.
