摘要: We introduce a multi-order parameter van der Waals theory for surface melting near the triple point Tt which is based on density functional techniques and includes long-range interparticle forces. As result we establish that attractive forces induce stretched exponential decay as T → of residual crystal order in quasi-liquid interfacial layer. If these are weak, crossover from logarithmic to power law growth - width occurs.
