Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Phase Transitions during Supercooling and Superheating: A Theoretical and Computational Investigation in Model Lennard-Jones Systems

In the work presented in this dissertation, extensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been performed to investigate various physical problems related to the solid-liquid transitions over a wide range of supercooling and superheating temperatures in model Lennard-Jones systems. The major foc...
