Abstract
A thermomolecular pressure is associated with surface melting, and it can drive mass flow along an interface under a lateral temperature gradient. The pressure is a universal thermodynamic function in the limit of thick films. It may be responsible for frost heave in frozen ground.Year: 1989 PMID： 17834424 DOI： 10.1126/science.246.4937.1591
