Abstract
The effect of premelting is of particular interest in connection with the theory of melting. In this paper, we discuss structural and dynamical properties of surfaces of semi-infinite crystals as well as of nano-clusters, which show the effect of premelting. The investigations are based on molecular dynamics calculations: Different models are used for the systematic study of the effect of premelting. In particular, the behaviour of the following functions have been studied: pair correlation function, generalized phonon density of states, and the mean-square displacement as a function of time. The calculations have been done for krypton since for this substance a reliable interaction potential is available.
