摘要
Although melting and freezing are common phenomena in nature, the microscopic mechanisms underlying these phase transformations are poorly understood. In the past decade, the possible role of surface and interfaces in inducing melting of the solid or freezing of the liquid has been the subject of intense research. Here, we present a brief status report. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
