Surface Energy

Surface Energy is the excess energy per unit area at the interface of a material compared to its bulk, arising from the imbalance of intermolecular forces at the surface, which distinguishes it from bulk free energy by its localized thermodynamic contribution to interfacial phenomena in condensed phases.
