Abstract

Based on thermodynamic perturbation theory, we calculate the surface tension for aluminium nanodrops of various radii. The size dependence obtained with the Schommers potential is compared with the results corresponding to other effective pair potentials. It is stated that the asymptotic value of the surface tension of large nanodrops produced by the Schommers potential is better consistent with the existing experimental data.
