We present a simple unifying model for crystallization and melting temperatures by showing that homogeneous nucleation and phase transformations driven by thickening of pre-existing surface layers are limiting conditions of the more general heterogeneous nucleation case. Furthermore, to a first approximation all these processes can be described by an extended classical nucleation theory. The model can also be applied to phase transition temperatures in confined volumes, provided reliable values for the interfacial tensions within the systems are determinable. The expected melting and crystallization temperature for any transformation pathway can then be predicted.

Continuous melting and thermal-history-dependent freezing in the confined Na-K eutectic alloy
23 Na NMR研究的Na-K共晶合金嵌入到多孔玻璃与7 nm的孔表明，熔化的Na 2K限制的纳米粒子是一个连续的过程中，平稳变化的奈特位移的窄共振线和核自旋弛豫之间的结晶和液体状态。在熔化时出现的中间状态是稳定的并且比液态更有利。根据冷却的初始温度，逆凝固转变可以是急剧的，如在一级转变或连续的。结果表明，修正的理论预测的熔化和冻结转变在受限的几何形状。

Molecular Dynamics Computer Simulation of Crystal Growth and Melting in Al50Ni50
采用分子动力学方法模拟了Al 50 Ni 50的熔化和晶化过程，采用嵌入原子型势模拟颗粒间的相互作用。模拟板状几何结构中的系统，其中在细长模拟箱中间的AlNi的B2相通过两个平面界面与液相分离，从而考虑（100）晶体取向。通过确定界面速度的温度依赖性，提供熔化温度的准确估计。动力学增长系数k= 0.0025m/s/K，比最近单组分金属模拟研究中的结果小两个数量级。经典的Wilson-Frenkel模型不能定量描述晶体生长动力学。我们认为，这是由于忽略了扩散过程中的液晶界面。
