First the relaxation of surface interface space at 300 K was studied. Then a number N of the disordered atoms per unit area was determined at the given temperatures to investigate the surface premelting and melting evolution. The obtained results indicated that the premelting phenomena occurred at about 1 100 K and a liquid-like layer emerged on (111) plane simultaneously. As temperature increased up to 2 200 K, the number N grew logarithmically for short-range metallic interactions.
