Dislocation-Mediated Melting: The One-Component Plasma Limit

Condensed Matter 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

The melting parameter Γm\Gamma_m of a classical one-component plasma is estimated using a relation between melting temperature, density, shear modulus, and crystal coordination number that follows from our model of dislocation-mediated melting. We obtain Γm=172±35,\Gamma_m=172\pm 35, in good agreement with the results of numerous Monte-Carlo calculations.
