interfacial energy

(differential geometry) A unit vector at any given point P of a surface M which is perpendicular to the tangent plane T_P(M) of M at P. For a surface with parametrization ⃑x(u,v), it is given by

(mathematics) A surface formed when a given curve is revolved around a given axis. If the resulting surface is a closed one, it also defines a solid of revolution.

(physics) An abstract boundary, of constant energy, useful for predicting the thermal, electrical, magnetic, and optical properties of metals, semimetals, and doped semiconductors.

(geometry) The total area on the surface of an object. / (computing) The total resources of a system that are accessible from the outside world and thus might be attacked.

plural of surface area

(engineering) Unwanted radar or sonar wave reflection arising from the land or sea surface.

Any n-dimensional surface (or line) having a constant scalar potential

(mathematics) Any surface that has the least possible surface area of those into which it could transform; typically the shapes of soap bubbles that span wire frames
