Supporting Derivations for Free-Energy PowerPoint Presentation

The derivations presented here are an extension of our accompanying free-energy synopsis. These additional details proved to be helpful while developing an overarching PowerPoint presentation.

General Free-Energy Expression

We're considering a free-energy function of the following form:

<math>~\mathfrak{G}^*_\mathrm{type}</math>

<math>~=</math>

<math>~-ax^{-1} + b x^{-3/n} + c x^{-3/j} + \mathfrak{G}_0 \, .</math>

As we have shown, setting,

<math>~\frac{\partial \mathfrak{G}^*_\mathrm{type}}{\partial x}</math>

<math>~=</math>

<math>~0</math>

generates a mathematical statement of virial equilibrium, namely,
