摘要: Using molecular dynamics with embedded-atom-type interatomic potentials, we simulated the melting behavior of a spherical Ag-3055 cluster coated Ni. The semi-coherent Ag/Ni interface formed at low temperatures acts as an effective barrier against surface and leads to substantial superheating Ag cluster. point was found be about 100 K above equilibrium bulk crystal (1230 +/- 15 K) 290 that (1040 free Ag3055 A 70 observed in high-temperature differential scanning calorimetry measurement for particles mean size 30 nm embedded Ni matrix prepared by means melt-spinning. Melting is initiated locally defective interfacial area then propagates inwards, suggesting heterogeneously nucleated event interface.
