Why Are Alkali Halide Solid Surfaces Not Wetted By Their Own Melt?
T. Zykova-Timan, D. Ceresoli, U. Tartaglino +1
Alkali halide (100) crystal surfaces are anomalous, being very poorly wetted by their own melt at the triple point. We present extensive simulations for NaCl, followed by calculati…
Melting and nonmelting of solid surfaces and nanosystems
U. Tartaglino, T. Zykova-Timan, F. Ercolessi +1
We present an extensive but concise review of our present understanding, largely based on theory and simulation work from our group, on the equilibrium behavior of solid surfaces a…
NaCl nanodroplet on NaCl(100) at the melting point
T. Zykova-Timan, U. Tartaglino, D. Ceresoli +2
The self-wetting properties of ionic crystal surfaces are studied, using NaCl(100) as a prototype case. The anomalously large contact angle measured long ago by Mutaftschiev is wel…
