摘要: Surface melting in Ne films evolves with thickness from logarithmic to power-law temperature dependence. The thin-film behavior appears be due the expected exponential decay of solid order. variation entropy is examined determine profile crystal-melt interface. interface width approximately 6 layers and 4 Ar.
