Abstract
The main purpose ol this paper is to underline the fundamental structural as well as interfacial energy differences existing between the crystal-melt interface and other interfaces such as crystal-vapour, liquid-vapour and crystal I-crystal II. After a short review of the existing theories of liquids and melting process, an approach towards understanding the crystal-melt interfacial structure based on the Bernal random-liquid model is suggested. Finally, some preliminary experimental results on the measurement of contact angle and adhesion energy between the densest crystal plane and the melt for close packed metals are presented.
