Line tension at curved edge of a molecular solid

摘要: Abstract This is the first direct calculation of line tension at a curved edge solid. As an example, we consider empty slit between two unconstrained coaxial cylinders with dispersion forces nanoscale. The computational scheme includes (a) local stress tensor field inside slit, (b) thermodynamic surface as function location on walls, and (c) circular rim cylinder radius. calculations have been made basis Irving–Kirkwood statistical mechanics.
