Reply to the Comments by E. M. Gutman on the article entitled 'Additional remarks related with the discussion...' by J. C. Eriksson and A.I. Rusanov [Surf. Sci. 604 (2010) 1062-1063]

摘要

It is regrettable, of course, that on some important points, the author of the above comments has misread our short paper entitled "Additional remarks related with the discussion inaugurated by the article: Incompatibility of the Shuttleworth equation with Hermann's mathematical structure of thermodynamics by D. J. Bottom-ley [Surf.Sci.603 (2009) 97]." In the paper that Gutman criticizes, we have tried to convey that Eq. (2) [the same as Gutman's Eq. (1) as well as Eq. (R.1) below] holds for most binary, interfacial systems, irrespective of whether it is a liquid-gas, liquid-liquid, solid-gas or solid-liquid interface.
