Melting and freezing are very common phenomena in everyday life. This review focusses on
the statistical mechanics of these ubiquitous phase transitions and highlights recent work on …

The present article focuses on a discussion concerning the concept, method and detailed
construction procedure of seven interatomic potentials currently available for fcc, bcc and …

Many well known difficulties associated with the use of two-body forces for the description of
metallic systems may be overcome by using an expression for the total energy of the form V …

Crystal growth and nucleation are treated in the specialized literature in different ways
depending on the discipline in question (physics, physical chemistry, chemical engineering) …

The high-temperature behavior of both a high-angle twist grain boundary and a free surface
on the (110) plane of silicon are investigated using molecular dynamics and the Stillinger …

Molecular dynamics and the effective-medium theory have been applied to investigate the
structure and dynamics of (110),(100), and (111) faces of copper in the whole temperature …

Disordering and melting of the surface of Ni (110) are investigated using molecular-
dynamics simulations, in which the embedded-atom theory is used to describe the …

A review is given of the properties of the solid state, the liquid state, and interfaces at the
freezing point. These properties can be described by laws of corresponding states, so-called …

In this review article, first a brief summary is presented concerning the formation of
amorphous alloys (or metallic glasses) in binary metal systems by solid-state reaction of …

Disordering and melting of the surface of Cu (110) are investigated using molecular-
dynamics simulations, in which the embedded-atom theory is used to describe the …
