Victor Kurasov (Saint-Petersburg University, Russia)
TL;DR
This paper derives and analyzes an expression for the free energy involved in multicomponent embryo formation, using Gibbs dividing surfaces to connect classical and integral concentration definitions.
Contribution
It introduces a new expression for free energy of embryo formation that unifies classical and integral concentration approaches using Gibbs dividing surfaces.
Findings
Derived a unified free energy expression for multicomponent embryos.
Analyzed the global structure of free energy and identified useful properties.
Connected Laplace critical embryo formula with integral concentration definitions.
Abstract
An expression for the free energy of embryo formation is constructed and analyzed. The Gibbs dividing surfaces method is used to attain a coincidence between Laplace formula for critical embryo and integral definitions of concenterations inside the embryo. A global structure of free energy is analyzed and some useful properties are extracted.
