摘要
A slab of particles interacting through a potential with a long-range tail - ar-4 is studied by molecular dynamics. A very pronounced surface melting (supermelting), is observed well below bulk point. The expected cross-over from a 'slow', logarithmic-like growth of the quasi-liquid film at low temperatures to a 'fast', power-law growth closer to the triple point is found to occur. In the power-law growth regime the exponent approaches 1, as expected from the phenomenological theory. The absolute film thickness, however, is severely underestimated by mean-field theory. © 1990 Pergamon Press plc.
