Comments on “The Gibbs Equation versus the Kelvin and the Gibbs-Thomson Equations to Describe Nucleation and Equilibrium of Nano-Materials”
The arguments recently presented against the Kelvin equation and Gibbs-Thomson equation (J. Nanosci. Nanotechnol. 12, 2625) are shown to be invalid and the related “modified equations” incompatible with the theory of thermodynamics.
