    "abstract": "A fluid droplet may exhibit self-propelled motion by modifying the wetting\nproperties of the substrate. We propose a novel model for droplet propagation\nupon a terraced landscape of ordered layers formed as a result of surface\nfreezing driven by the contact angle dependence on the terrace thickness.\nSimultaneous melting or freezing of the terrace edge results in a joint\ndroplet-terrace motion. The model is tested numerically and compared to\nexperimental observations on long-chain alkane system in the vicinity of the\nsurface melting point.",
