Thermodynamics of surface and interfaces
Define
:
Consider to be a force / unit length of surface perimeter.
(fluid systems)
If a portion of the perimeter moves an infinitesimal of distance in the plane
of the surface of area A, the area change dA is a product of that portion of
perimeter and the length moved.
Work term - dA; force x distance, and appears in the combined 1st
and 2nd laws of thermodynamics as

Strictly speaking , is defined as the change in internal energy when
the area is reversibly increased at constant S, V and Ni (i.e., closed
system).
For a system containing a plane surface this equation can be readily integrated :

is the Gibbs free energy of the materials comprising the
system, i.e., the energy of the system as if it were
uniform ignoring any variations associated with the
surface
Thus is an excess free energy due to the presence of the surface.

Surface Excess Quantities
Macroscopic extensive properties of an interface separating bulk phases
are defined as a surface excess.
There is a hypothetical 2D “dividing surface” defined for which the
parameters of the bulk phases change discontinuously at the dividing
surface.
def
The excess is defined as the difference between the actual value of the
extensive quantity in the system and that which would have been
present in the same volume if the phases were homogeneous right up to
the “ Dividing Surface ” i.e.,
x x
s
total
The real value of x in
the system
x x
The values of x in the homogeneous
and phases
Concept of the Gibbs Dividing Surface

Density
Distance perpendicular to the surface
For a 1 component system the position of the dividing surface is chosen such
that the two shared areas in the figure are equal. This yields a consistent value
(equal to zero ) for the surface excess.
For a multicomponent system the position of the dividing surface that makes
some Ni equal to zero will be unlikely to make all the other Nj ≠i = 0.
By convention, N1, the surface excess of the component present in the largest
amount (i.e., the solvent) is made zero by appropriate choice of dividing
surface.
Alternatively if we consider a large homogeneous crystalline body containing
N atoms surrounded by plane surfaces then if U0 and S0 are the energy and
entropy / per atom, the surface energy per unit area Us is defined by

Solid and liquid Surfaces
In a nn pair potential model of a solid, the surface free energy can be thought
of as the energy/ unit -area associated with bond breaking. :
work/ unit area to create new surface =

where n/A is the # of broken bonds / unit-area and the

The difference in the work per
