Faceting at the silicon (100) crystal-melt interface: theory and experiment

Molecular-dynamics simulations and in situ experimental observations of the melting and equilibrium structure of the crystalline Si(100)-melt interface are described. The equilibrium interface is structured, exhibiting facets established on (111) planes.
