摘要
We show that clusters coated with higher-melting-point material can be superheated above their thermodynamic melting point even when the effects of increased internal pressure are included. The work involves molecular-dynamics simulations of Lennard-Jones systems with coatings of differing strength of interaction. Reference is made to full thermodynamic analyses of the one- and two-component phase diagrams. Mechanisms responsible for this enhanced stability are determined.
