Surface-induced shift of melting/freezing temperatures at interfaces between two semi-infinite media

摘要

Many physical properties and the structure of liquids at interfaces differ from those of the same liquids in the bulk state.In particular,the freezing temperatures of numerous liquid systems at interfaces between two fluids can be either increased or decreased compared to the temperature of corresponding bulk phase transition.The approach proposed in this paper allows one to predict the surface-induced shift of the melting/freezing temperatures in various systems.
