Abstract

In this paper we prove the Gibbs-Thomson relation between the coarse grained chemical potential and the non homogeneous and anisotropic mean curvature of a phase interface within the gradient theory of phase transitions thus proving a generalization of a conjecture stated by Gurtin and proved by Luckhaus and Modica in the homogeneous and isotropic case.
