Abstract

The effect of a sample mass (decreasing from 100 g to 0.1 mg) on the crystallization supercooling (Δ T ) relative to the melting temperature T L has been studied for bismuth. The entire mass range can be divided into three regions: for massive samples (m=100−6 g), Δ is about several kelvins; for medium masses (1 g to 1.0 mg), ΔT amounts to 30±4 K and is virtually independent of m; below 0.1 mg, ΔT exhibits a rapid growth.
