Molecular dynamics simulations reveal key differences in solid superheating and liquid supercooling. Elastic energy and interface disorder drive superheating, unlike supercooling which follows classical nucleation theory.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Thermodynamics
  • Computational Physics

Background:

  • Solid superheating and liquid supercooling are critical phenomena in materials science.
  • Understanding their thermodynamic and kinetic behaviors is essential for controlling phase transitions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the thermodynamic and kinetic behaviors of solid superheating and liquid supercooling.
  • To elucidate the underlying mechanisms governing these phenomena.

Main Methods:

  • Molecular-dynamics simulations were employed to investigate superheating and supercooling.
  • Thermodynamic and kinetic properties were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Large elastic energy and solid-liquid interface disorder significantly influence superheating.

  • Supercooling exhibits anisotropic growth rates, while superheating shows isotropic behavior.
  • Classical nucleation theory accurately describes supercooling but has limitations for superheating.

    • Conclusions:

    • Significant differences exist in the mechanisms of solid superheating and liquid supercooling.
    • Elastic energy and interface disorder are crucial factors in superheating.
    • Further research is needed to refine models for superheating phenomena.
