Physicists Describe the Melting of Colloidal Crystal Films
Fri, 21 May 2010 12:19:00 -0500

microscopic beads Physicists from the University of Pennsylvania and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have reported an elegant experimental study of the melting behaviors of thin crystalline films, uncovering a variety of interesting differences between thick films of greater than four layers and thinner or single-layer films. The findings, published in the current edition of Physical Review Letters, are relevant to technologies that require thin film adhesion.
