The Gibbs–Thomson equation may be written in a compact form:
where the Gibbs–Thomson coefficient  assumes different values for different liquids and different interfacial geometries (spherical/cylindrical/planar).
In more detail:,
where:
*  is a geometric constant dependent on the interfacial shape,
*  is a constant involving parameters specific to the crystalline solid of solid–liquid system, and
*  is an interfacial energy term.
