Surface melting of copper
TLDR
In this article, the quasiharmonic free energy of (100), (110), and (111) surfaces within the slab model was computed for the surface instabilities of copper metal and it was shown that a loose-packed surface would melt prior to a close-packed one if contractive surface relaxations are neglected.Abstract:
The surface instabilities of copper metal are studied by computing the quasiharmonic free energy of (100), (110), and (111) surfaces within the slab model. We find that a loose-packed surface would melt prior to a close-packed one if contractive surface relaxations are neglected. The inclusion of surface contractions can reverse the order of these instabilities in agreement with recent experiments.read more
