Abstract

While thermodynamics of interfaces provides a theoretical foundation for understanding various interfacial phenomena, its application depends on the availability of the fundamental equation. In the absence of experimental access to this information, this is a task best left to statistical mechanics. In this Chapter, we introduce a powerful method from statistical mechanics that allows us to study interfaces and inhomogeneous systems in general based on underlying molecular level models.
