Numerical evidence of the formation of a thin microscopic film of methane at the water surface: a free energy calculation

Abstract

We report a free energy calculation of a methane molecule as a function of its position along the normal to the water surface, and establish that the formation of a methane film at the water surface is thermodynamically favoured.
