The formation and stability of a nanosized propagating intermediate melt (IM) have been analyzed more than 
below the melting temperature between the solid-solid (SS) phase boundary during 
phase transformation (PT) in a HMX nanocrystal. The influence of the solid-melt barrier K12 and two important nanoscale material parameters (ratios of SS and solid-melt SM interface energies, kE and width, 
) on the barrierless nucleation and appearance of non-equilibrium IM has been studied. Numerical results reveal that the solution of IM can either be continuous reversible or jump-like first-order discontinuous transformation with hysteresis. Additionally, various parametric studies on the structure, energy, width, and mobility of IM have been explored to understand the mystifying PT behaviors of HMX.
