In this project in the Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Benjamin Widom of the Department of Chemistry of Cornell University will study the theory of fluids, phase transitions and interfaces. The PI will study the structure of the interfaces between fluids using a local density functional theory, the contact angles between liquids and low energy surfaces, the Mcleods law relating the interfacial tension of two fluid phases in equilibrium to the difference in their densities and the hydrophobic interactions in water solutions. The PI is one of the leaders in the field of liquid theory and phase transitions. His theoretical work has strong practical implications for colloid chemistry and biochemistry.

在这个项目中的物理化学计划的化学 康奈尔大学化学系的本杰明·威多姆 大学 将学习流体理论，相变和 接口。PI将研究界面的结构， 流体使用局部密度泛函理论，接触角 在液体和低能表面之间，Mcleods定律 两流体相平衡时的界面张力差 它们的密度和水溶液中的疏水相互作用。 PI是液体理论和相位领域的领导者之一 过渡。他的理论工作具有很强的实践意义， 胶体化学和生物化学。
