Abstract
Both the solid-liquid interfacial free energy and Turnbull coefficient calculated by the capillary fluctuation method (CFM) are consistent with those by the critical nucleus method (CNM). The calculated solid-liquid interfacial free energy by CNM is more accurate than that by CFM, but CFM can give the anisotropy parameter of solid-liquid interfacial free energy while CNM can not. Thus, these two methods can be combined to calculate the solid-liquid interfacial free energy and its anisotropy.
