On the Role of Nanometer Scale Structure on Interfacial Energy

Natural surfaces are often structured with nanometre-scale domains, yet a framework providing a quantitative understanding of how nanostructure affects interfacial energy, gammaSL, is lacking. Conventional continuum thermodynamics treats gammaSL solely as a function of average composition, ignoring...
