Melting and critical superheating
Abstract
Two mechanisms of melting are known, heterogeneous, where melting starts at surfaces, and homogeneous, where the liquid nucleates in the bulk crystal. If melting occurs homogeneously, a crystal can be superheated significantly above its melting temperature $({T}_{m})$. At present, the physical meaning of the limit of superheating $({T}_{\mathit{LS}})$ is unknown. We demonstrate, by molecular dynamics simulations, that the total energy of a solid at ${T}_{\mathit{LS}}$ is equal to the total energy of its liquid at ${T}_{m}$ at the same volume. In the high pressure limit ${T}_{\mathit{LS}}$ and ${T}_{m}$ are connected by the constant ${k}_{AB}=\mathit{ln}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}2∕3$ via the relation ${k}_{AB}={T}_{\mathit{LS}}∕{T}_{m}\ensuremath{-}1$.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
