TLDR
The solution of the general equations should be established as rigorously as the present knowledge of the fundamental law permits ; the solution of these equations may, however, be obtained by approximations suited to the case.Abstract:
THE problem of formulating a rigorous mathematical description of the molecular motion in .liquids has always been regarded as much more difficult than that of the kinetic theory of gases or of solids, because one has the simplifying features of low density in the case of gases, and of a regular lattice structure in the case of solids, while the molecules of a liquid are in a dense and disordered state. It is clear that only approximate solutions may be expected ; but, in introducing the approximations, we think that the following principle should be accepted. The general equations should be established as rigorously as the present knowledge of the fundamental law permits ; the solution of these equations may, however, be obtained by approximations suited to the case.read more

Triple-point wetting of molecular hydrogen isotopes
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the roughness of the substrate on triple-point wetting was investigated, which is expected to be responsible for the dewetting of the solid phase.

Calculations of activation energy of diffusion and self-diffusion
TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology for the evaluation of activation energy of diffusion and self-diffusion based on the application of spatial energy parameter (α-parameter) is given.

Adsorption, absorption, versus crystal growth
TL;DR: An all-inclusive review on the adsorption-absorption phenomena concerning both equilibrium and growth of crystals is presented in this paper, where a logical path starts with the relations between the adorption and the growth of pure crystals, continues with the change of the crystal shape due to the surface adsoption of foreign substances (without absorption in the crystal bulk) and terminates with the absorption and crystal growth.

Charge carrier mobility of alkali silicate glasses calculated by molecular dynamics
TL;DR: In this article, a method of utilizing molecular dynamics simulations is proposed for the study of the ionic mobility of Na, Li, and K ions in binary silicate glasses, which is in agreement with the interstitial pair and weak-electrolyte models used to explain ionic conductivity in glasses.

Crystal statistics. I. A two-dimensional model with an order-disorder transition
TL;DR: In this article, the eigenwert problem involved in the corresponding computation for a long strip crystal of finite width, joined straight to itself around a cylinder, is solved by direct product decomposition; in the special case $n=\ensuremath{\infty}$ an integral replaces a sum.

On the determination of molecular fields. —II. From the equation of state of a gas
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a molecular model of the same type will also explain available experimental data concerning the equation of state of a gas, and if so, whether the results so obtained, when taken in conjunction with those obtained from viscosity, will definitely fix the molecular field.
