Abstract:Constant particle number, density and temperature (N, ρ, T) Molecular-Dynamics simulations are used to study second layer promotion and melting in a complete monolayer of krypton deposited onto a graphite substrate. In order to study the vertical behavior of the system and its relationship to melting, artificial horizontal constraints are introduced and their effects are systematically monitored. We find that horizontally confining each atom within an impenetrable cylinder increases the melting temperature Tm … Show more
