The temperature dependence of the solid-liquid interfacial free energy,{\gamma}, is investigated for Al and Ni at the undercooled temperature regimebased on a recently developed persistent-embryo method. The atomisticdescription of the nucleus shape is obtained from molecular dynamicssimulations. The computed {\gamma} shows a linear dependence on thetemperature. The values of {\gamma} extrapolated to the melting temperatureagree well with previous data obtained by the capillary fluctuation method.Using the temperature dependence of {\gamma}, we estimate the nucleation freeenergy barrier in a wide temperature range from the classical nucleationtheory. The obtained data agree very well with the results from the brute-forcemolecular dynamics simulations.
