Abstract: | Surface tension is an important quantity, both as physical and technological features. We applied the general form of Lennard-Jones potential model, LJ (m-n), and some thermodynamic arguments in the Kirkwood and Buff equation to calculate the surface tension of liquid cesium. To find out the surface tension in a wide temperature range, only pVT data are required. By this method, we investigated the influence of the potential model on the surface tension. For two selected potential models LJ (6–3) and LJ (8.5–4)], the values of the calculated surface tension and the predicted surface energy agree with the experimental values. |
