O ct 2 00 4 NaCl nanodroplet on NaCl ( 100 ) at the melting point
The self-wetting properties of ionic crystal surfaces are studied, using NaCl(100) as a prototype case. The anomalously large contact angle measured long ago by Mutaftschiev [1,2] is well reproduced by realistic molecular dynamics simulations. Based on these results, and on independent determinations of the liquid-vapor (γ LV) and the solid-vapor interface free energy (γ SV) [3], an estimate of...
متن کاملStrain effects at solid surfaces near the melting point
We investigate the effects of strain on a crystal surface close to the bulk melting temperature Tm, where surface melting usually sets in. Strain lowers the bulk melting point, so that at a fixed temperature below but close to Tm the thickness of the quasi-liquid film is expected to grow with strain, irrespective of sign. In addition, a strain-induced solid surface free energy increase/decrease...
متن کاملMelting Point Determination
An improved technique is described for the accurate determination of melting points of metals in the temperature range 1500° to 2500°C. The improvements consist of gradient heating and refinements in cavity preparation to obtain true black-body conditions. The melting point of hafnium, as determined by this method, is set a t 22220-+30°C. This is over 200°C higher than one of the values reporte...
متن کاملNanodroplet Transport on Vibrated Nanotubes.
We show by molecular dynamics simulations that water nanodroplets can be transported along and around the surfaces of vibrated carbon nanotubes. In our simulations, a nanodroplet with a diameter of ∼4 nm is adsorbed on a (10,0) single-wall carbon nanotube, which is vibrated at one end with a frequency of 208 GHz and an amplitude of 1.2 nm. The generated linearly polarized transverse acoustic wa...
متن کاملSolid clusters above the bulk melting point
The fact that the melting points of nanoparticles are always lower than those of the corresponding bulk material is a paradigm supported by extensive experimental data for a large number of systems and by numerous calculations. Here we demonstrate that tin cluster ions with 10-30 atoms remain solid at approximately 50 K above the melting point of bulk tin. This behavior is possibly related to t...
