Based on a model of the melting of Grain Boundary (GB), we discuss the
possibility of the existence of superheated GB state. A Molecular Dynamics
simulation presented here shows that the superheated GB state can realized in
the high symmetric tilt GB. Whether the sizes of liquid nuclei exceed a
critical size determined the superheating grain boundary melting or not. Our
results also indicate that the increase of melting point due to pressure is
smaller than the superheating due to nucleation mechanism.Comment: Accepted by PRB, 7 pages and 5 figure
