Thermodynamic theory of the Tolman's length

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/19/7/076801

Abstract There still exists controversy on the sign and magnitude of the Tolman's length and the Tolman's gap. Further experimental, computational and theoretical investigations on them are needed to solve this problem. In 2006, Blokhuis and Kuipers obtained a rigorous relationship between the Tolman's length and other thermodynamic quantities for the single-component liquid—vapour system. In the present paper, we derive two general relationships between the Tolman's length and other thermodynamic quantities for the single-component liquid—vapour system. The relationship derived by Blokhuis and Kuipers and an earlier result turn out to be two special cases of our results.
