Phonon contribution to melting of thin films. NMR study of diphenyl
Chernov A. A., Kvlividze V. l., Dukova E. D., Bazhenov D. V.
A thin film of melt on a crystal surface, Δ Τ = 0.1-40 К below the melting point T0 of its bulk (see Refs. 1-6), has been recorded for diphenyl. The thickness of the film turned out to be aA Τ ~This effect is explained by the discreteness of the phonon spectrum of the thin film.
