Capillary pressure of van der Waals liquid nanodrops.

- Abstract
The dependence of the surface tension on nanodrop radius is important for the new-phase formation process. It is demonstrated that the famous Tolman formula is not unique and the size-dependence of the surface tension can distinct for different systems. The analysis is based on a relationship between the surface tension and disjoining pressure in nanodrops. It is shown that the van der Waals interactions do not affect the new-phase formation thermodynamics since the effects of the disjoining pressure and size-dependent component of the surface tension cancel each other.
