摘要
A general equation, supported by two reasonable asymptotic limits and being free of any adjustable parameters, for the size-dependent and temperature-dependent solid-liquid interface free energy is developed. The prediction of the equation for homogeneous nucleation temperature of metallic elements corresponds well to Turnbull's experiments. Moreover, the heterogeneous nucleation temperatures of Al nanowires and Pb thin films are predicted, which is in agreement with experimental results. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
