at the molecular scale, the definition of the surface varies depending on the author. Sometimes the choice is to take the [[Gibbs dividing surface]]. | at the molecular scale, the definition of the surface varies depending on the author.

[[ | [[Capillary wave theory]] proceeds by studying the fluctuations of this surface; many of its predictions are independent of the particular choice (like, e.g., the divergence of [[roughness]] with the area), but of course any microscopic detail will depend on the choice of surface. | ||
The [[intrinsic sampling method]] is a recent approach to obtaining this surface from a molecular simulation. | The [[intrinsic sampling method]] is a recent approach to obtaining this surface from a molecular simulation. | ||
