Tolman's nonlinearity of capillary waves.
A nonlinear theory of nanometer capillary waves is developed that takes curvature dependence of the surface tension coefficient (Tolman's nonlinearity) into account. Estimations are given that indicate the importance of Tolman's nonlinearity for thermocapillary waves.
