Vv. Bakovets et Ip. Dolgovesova, A NEW EXPERIMENTAL-METHOD OF THE SURFACE-TENSION ANGLE DERIVATIVE (STAD) DETERMINATION, Journal of physical chemistry, 98(29), 1994, pp. 7211-7213
Angle derivatives of the surface tension for the equilibrium crystal p
lane are obtained from the condition of thermodynamic equilibrium on t
he three phase boundary. The new experimental method of the surface te
nsion angle derivative determination is demonstrated on KCl monocrysta
l taken as a model. The found absolute value of STAD for a plane (100)
in saturated water solution is equal to 3 mJ/(m(2) x grad).
