Abstract

Analytical expressions for Tolman parameter jg, self-absorption on a tension surface db, and surface tension σ on flat and curved surfaces were found using the thermodynamic Gibbs method. The jg, db, and σ values were determined for 50 liquid metals at the melting temperature. It was established that surface tension decreases with a decrease in the radius of an equimolecular dividing surface.
