Abstract: A defect-free crystal can be superheated into a metastable state above its melting point and eventually melts via homogeneous nucleation. Further increasing the temperature leads to the metastable crystal becoming unstable and melting catastrophically once… read more here.

Abstract: Golden ultrafast melting Understanding fast melting of metals is important for applications such as welding and micromachining. However, fast melting leaves simulation as the only option for probing the process. Mo et al. performed ultrafast… read more here.
