Surface tension

The surface tension $\gamma$ is a measure of the work required to build up a surface ....

Canonical Ensemble: Two phases;

$\gamma =\frac{\partial F(N,V,T,A)}{\partial A}$;

where

• $N$ is the number of particles
• $V$ is the volume
• $T$ is the temperature
• $\mathcal{A}$ is the surface area

... preliminary version (sketchy) to be continued soon, as soon as I find a way to distinghuis A (Helmholtz) and A (surface area)

Computer Simulation

• Binder procedure

• Explicit interface
