By using a simplified model of small open liquid-like clusters with surface effects, in the gas phase, it is shown how the statistical thermodynamics of small systems can be extended to include metastable supersaturated gaseous states not too far from the gas-liquid equilibrium transition point. To accomplish this, one has to distinguish between mathematical divergence and physical convergence of the open-system partition function.
通过使用具有表面效应的小型开放类液体团簇的简化模型，在气相中，展示了如何将小系统的统计热力学扩展到包括离气-液平衡转变点不太远的亚稳态过饱和气态。为了实现这一点，必须区分开放系统配分函数的数学发散和物理收敛。
