Surface energy of an nanoparticle

Dear all,

I am simulating a single-element nanoparticle (a spherical metal) in an vacuum and want to calculate its surface energies: solid-liquid, liquid-vapor and solid-vapor. I appreciate that if you can give me any hints and suggestions or any related publications.

Best regards,
Leo

this not really a question about LAMMPS but about science. you should
discuss this with your adviser and look up the relevant information in
suitable text books.
