On. Mesquita et Hz. Cummins, FLUCTUATIONS DURING FREEZING AND MELTING AT THE SOLID-LIQUID INTERFACE OF XENON - COMMENT, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 54(2), 1996, pp. 1410-1411
Di Nardo and Bilgram have recently reported observations of anomalous
diffusive light scattering at the crystal-melt interface of xenon [Phy
s. Rev. B 51, 8012 (1995)]. They interpret their data as evidence for
a crystal-like preordered layer at the liquid side of the interface wh
ich they associate with the crystallization process. We discuss an alt
ernative explanation for their observations.
