20 Jul 1992 | | Journal: | Europhysics Lett. 26, 51 (1994) | | Subject: | cond-mat | | Affiliation: | Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby, Denmark | | Abstract: | We simulate the melting of a 71 A diameter cluster of Cu. At low temperatures the crystal exhibits facets. With increasing temperatures the open facets pre-melt, the melted regions coalesce into a liquid envelope containing a crystalline nucleus, and the nucleus finally goes unstable to the supercooled liquid. Using critical droplet theory and experimental data for Cu, we explain the thermodynamics of the coexistence region. The width of the transition scales as (Number of particles) to the power (-1/4). | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/9207023 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
