We investigate thermodynamics of single-component solid-fluid interfaces when the solid phase is subject to nonhydrostatic mechanical stresses. The analysis reveals that when the solid is nonhydrostatic, the interface stress is not unique. We show the existence of several types of interface stresses, formulate them as interface excess quantities, and establish relationships between them. Using molecular dynamics simulations with an empirical potential, we compute several different interface stresses for a ! 110" solid-liquid interface in copper. The simulations show that biaxial tension and compression of the solid produce a strong effect on the magnitude, sign, and anisotropy of the interface stresses. The free energy of the interface was computed by thermodynamic integration along biaxial tension and compression paths. The effect of nonhydrostatic stresses on the interface free energy is much weaker than the effect on interface stresses.
