Abstract

We redefine the surface tension coefficient and the symmetry energy for an asymmetric nuclear Fermi-liquid drop with a finite diffuse layer. Considering two-component charged Fermi-liquid drop and following Gibbs-Tolman concept, we introduce the equimolar radius ReR_{e} of sharp surface droplet at which the surface tension is applied and the radius of tension surface RsR_{s} (Laplace radius) which provides the minimum of the surface tension coefficient σ\sigma. We have shown that the nuclear Tolman length ξ\xi is negative and the modulus of ξ\xi growth quadratically with asymmetry parameter X=(NZ)/(N+Z)X=(N-Z)/(N+Z).
