Surface Melting (faceting?). Sergio Calatroni. Surface Melting. (110) -> 1270 K (1000 C) (100) -> 1290 K (1020 C) (111) -> 1310 K (1040 C). Bulk fusion -> Lindemann criterion: rms thermal vibration amplitude of the solid reaches some 14% of the nearest-neighbour distance.

Surface Melting (110) -> 1270 K (1000 C) (100) -> 1290 K (1020 C) (111) -> 1310 K (1040 C) Bulk fusion -> Lindemann criterion: rms thermal vibration amplitude of the solid reaches some 14% of the nearest-neighbour distance. In a surface atoms are closer together than in bulk -> lower melting point Sergio Calatroni
Stress effect Sergio Calatroni

Faceting • Faceting happens: • Vacuum 1040 C • Does not happen: • 1 bar H2 SLAC 1040 C • 1 mbar H2 CERN 1040 C • 10 mbar H2 CERN 850 C What orientations? Sergio Calatroni
