In his studies of the continuous change from the liquid to the vapor state, at temperatures above the critical, van der Waals developed the theory that at theboundary between a liquid and its vaporthere is not an abrupt change from one state to the other, but rather that a transition layer exists in which the density and other properties vary grad-ually from those of the liquid to those of the vapor. This idea of the continuous transition between phases of matter has been applied very generally in the development of theories of surface phenomena, such as surface tension, adsorption, etc. Eucken, 1 for example, in dealing with the theory of adsorption of gases, considers that the transition layer is a sort of miniature atmosphere, the molecules being attracted to the surface by some kind of “action ata
