摘要
We show that if the triple line around a three-dimensional double bubble or lens bubble is decorated with another bubble or with a Plateau border, then the film prolongations into the decoration no longer meet at 2 pi/3. These deviations can be accounted for in terms of a line tension that equals half the excess surface energy associated with the decoration.
