Abstract:
Since the droplet of the lattice-gas model with long-range interaction is not circular and is determined by the Wulff construction due to surface tension anisotropy, a calculation method of the surface tension of the droplet is proposed in this paper. The calculated surface tension is in good agreement with the surface tension measured by using the Laplace's formula in consideration of the surface thickness.
