Synergy and pinning effects in a monatomic liquid film in confined conditions

The freezing behavior of a monatomic liquid film in confined conditions during rapid cooling was studied by molecular dynamics simulations. We illustrated the synergy and pinning effects of the local icosahedral order during freezing. Our results show that the icosahedron contributes to nucleation t...
