“…For example, the SE of indium in the solid phase is equal to 633 ± 4 mJ/m 2 , whereas the ST of indium in the liquid state is 701 mJ/m 2 , based on the data of [54,71]. In this case, one should stress that the SE of indium was determined by the most reliable cur rently available measurement method of the surface energy of metals in the solid state (compensation zero creep method), ensuring the SE determination error, which does not exceed 2% at a 95% reliability [86,89,140,146], i.e., by not much more than the measure [54,71] are not only smaller but on the contrary substantially exceed the SE of indium in the solid state. The same is related to gallium and thallium.…”
