36. Note that our DDFT shares some features in common with the phase field theories used to study solidification and other such processes-see, e.g., A. A. Wheeler, W. J. Boettinger, and G. B. McFadden, Phys. Rev. A 45, 7424 (1992). 10.1103/PhysRevA.45.7424

38. We denote it a "semigrand" free energy because the free energy is developed in an ensemble where the liquid is treated grand canonically (it is coupled to a reservoir with chemical potential μ), whereas the fixed number of nanoparticles are treated canonically.
