This research aims to explore the effects of interfacial tension during phase transitions in a two-dimensional system. The focus is on understanding how specific areas and the shape of interfaces impact the system's overall behavior.
Analyzed a two-dimensional system with fixed temperature T and variable specific volumes v=V/N.
Minimized the total Helmholtz free energy A concerning the specific areas and amounts of two coexisting phases.
Developed a p—v isotherm with discontinuities influenced by the dimensionless parameter related to molecule count N and interfacial tension.
Identified the presence of loops in the p—v isotherm, indicating jump discontinuities in phase behavior.
Found that coexisting phases exist primarily in cases involving larger values of the number of molecules N.
Estimated interfacial tension using the amplitude of the loop from a prior study of 870 hard disks.
