The time evolution of average W6 of internal atoms, suface atoms
and surface atoms with nearest-neighbor bonds are shown below.
Those of internal atoms and surface atoms with nearest-neighbor bonds are
from the simulations (Andersen Thermostat during step-by-step cooling). That
of surface atoms are calculated from saved 100 configurations without bonds
to internal atoms. These plots didn't show any evidence that surface
solidification is prior to interior.
Surface and interior cooling time
603 atoms at 800K
1409 atoms at 800K
2624 atoms at 900K
