Accurate determination of the vapor-liquid-solid contact line tension and the viability of Young equation

In this work, we present a theoretical method to determine the line tension of nanodroplets on homogeneous substrates via decomposing the grand free energy into volume, interface and line contributions. With the obtained line tension, we check the viability of Young equation and find that the chemic...
