Statistical mechanics of surfaces
<p>The equilibrium properties of a spherical drop are investigated using the penetrable-sphere model of a fluid. To estimate the surface tension, a new statistical mechanical formula, the extension of the Triezenberg-Zwanzig result for a planar surface, is derived. The density profiles for us...
