Abstract: We review recent work done in our group on the high-temperature behavior of metal surfaces. In particular, the nonmelting behavior of many close-packed metal surfaces, and their ability to sustain overheating, are discussed in connection with an effective attraction between the solid–liquid and the liquid–vapor interfaces, due to strong surface layering. This also implies partial wetting of the solid surface by the melt.
