Strain 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 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...
متن کاملTransverse acoustic phonons in germanium near the melting point
2014 The transverse acoustic phonon dispersion in germanium has been studied along [111] and [100] up to 935 °C, only 2 degrees below the melting point Tm. No evidence of softening is found, neither near the Brillouin Zone boundary, nor uniformly throughout the BZ. The phonon energies decrease slowly and linearly with increasing T from 100 K to Tm. This suggests that the free electron density a...
متن کاملHeat capacity of rare earth metals near the melting point and the vacancy mechanism of melting
The vacancy mechanism of the melting process is utilized as a starting point for deriving the formula for the difference of the heat capacity of the liquid and solid metal in the neighbourhood of the melting point. From these calculations it follows that the difference C,, C,, is the same for all the metals and equals 3.50 J g.atom-' K-'. This result is compared with the existing in the literat...
متن کاملAlkali Halide Surfaces Near Melting: Wetting and Nanofriction Properties
Alkali halide (100) crystal surfaces are poorly wetted by their own melt at the triple point. We carried out simulations for NaCl(100) within the well tested BMHFT model potential. Calculations of the solid-vapor, solid-liquid and liquid-vapor free energies showed that solid NaCl(100) is a non-melting surface, and explain its bad wetting in detail. The extreme stability of NaCl(100) is ideal fo...
