Résumé:

Melting of krypton confined in 4 nm MCM-41 pore has been studied. A continuous melting, starting from the pore center, has been observed in various thermodynamic conditions: along the saturation line, at constant pressure and at constant number of atoms. The crucial role of the atom-wall interaction has been discussed, particularly its influence on an increase or a reduction of the melting temperature. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
