The applicability of the Gibbs-Tolman-Koening-Buff (GTKB) equation has been a concern. A scheme is designed to test the GTKB equation. Molecular dynamics simulations are carried out for argon liquid of different systems containing different numbers of atoms with a Lennard-Jones (LJ) potential at a temperature of 78 K. The Tolman length and the surface tension are calculated. Based on the analysis, we conclude the GTKB equation is tenable for R*(s) > 8.
