Abstract

The processes of melting and freezing of aluminum (Al) particles have been observed directly in a transmission electron microscope. The liquid phase nucleated preferentially at the surface of an Al particle, surrounding the crystalline solid at the onset of melting. The liquid phase then propagated inside the Al particle at the expense of the solid.
