Abstract
Spatial distribution of phases in a solid-liquid-vapor system are described by the classical Young’s equation1
where γ is the interfacial tension between solid-vapor (sv), solid-liquid (sl), and liquid-vapor (lv) phases, γsv-γsl is the driving force for wetting, and θ is the contact angle at a solid-liquid-vapor triple point as measured through the liquid phase. Furthermore, in systems where the solid phase is polycrystalline
where γss is the interfacial tension at the solid-solid grain boundary, γsf is either γsl or γsv, and Φ is the dihedral angle2 at a solid-fluid-solid triple point measured through the fluid phase. Both of these equations have been extensively used in various fields to describe the conditions of mechanical equilibrium of a capillary system under chemical non-equilibrium conditions, without explicitly considering the effect of chemical reactions on the interfacial tensions. Recently, it has been shown3 that an interfacial reaction or diffusion of a component from one bulk phase to the other across an interface results in a transient decrease in the corresponding interfacial tension by an amount equal to the free energy of the effective chemical reaction per unit area at that interface.

The free energy change at the solid-vapor interface is designated as Δgsl instead of Agsv since, assuming that composition of the liquid at the interface remains essentially constant, compositional variations are only in the solid due to components diffusing from the liquid and thus the nature of the reactions at the solid-vapor and the solid-liquid interfaces do not differ appreciably.
