Title: Heat transfer at the nanoscale: Evaporation of nanodroplets
Abstract: We demonstrate using molecular dynamics simulations of the Lennard-Jones that the evaporation process of nanodroplets at the nanoscale is by the heat transfer. The temperature is continuous at the interface if the liquid/vapor density ratio is small (of order of 10) and discontinuous otherwise. The temperature in the
