Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Surface Nucleation during Growth of an Alkane Crystal

Crystal growth from the melt of n-pentacontane (C50) was studied by molecular dynamics simulation. Quenching below the melting temperature gives rise to propagation of the crystal growth front into the C50 melt from a crystalline polyethylene surface. By tracking the location of the crystal-melt int...
