## Abstract

Molecular dynamics calculations of the fluctuation of bond vibration revealed the shell-resolved kinetics of surface melting of closed-shelled cluster containing 147atoms with Lennard-Jones type interaction. It is found that the surface melting is imitated by the migrating of the vertex atoms and the melting process can be divided into three major stages, i.e., vertex migrating, surface melting, and general melting. Although the melting process of the LJ147 cluster could be divided into discrete stages of shell-by-shell surface melting, in general, there is still a continuous process of melting from the surface to the core interior.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
