Abstract
The modified lattice-gas model is used to construct the model and the concentration profiles of the liquid—vapor for spherical drops of different size. A monotonic character of the temperature dependence of the width of the transition layer between the liquid and the vapor is demonstrated. The dependence of the surface tension on the drop size was studied. The calculation was carried out in the quasichemical approximation, which takes into account the correlation effects of the neighboring interacting molecules. The results are in qualitative agreement with earlier density functional theory calculations and calculations by the van der Waals theory of capillarity. The numerical analysis of the molecular model of the spherical drop gives two types of solution, which correspond to equilibrium and metastasble states of the drop.
