Hydrophobic effects on multivalent-salt-induced self-condensation of DNA
Hydrophobic effects on multivalent-salt-induced self-condensation of a single polyelectrolyte chain such as DNA are investigated through a multiscale coarse-grained simulation based on density functio...

Using the chemical potential of a solid in a dissolved state or the corresponding component of the chemical potential tensor at equilibrium with the solution, a new concept of grand thermodynamic potential for solids has been suggested. This allows generalizing the definition of Gibbs' quantity sigma (surface work often called the solid-fluid interfacial free energy) at a planar surface as an excess grand thermodynamic potential per unit surface area that (1) does not depend on the dividing surface location and (2) is common for fluids and solids. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
