Freezing and melting equations for the $n$-6 Lennard-Jones systems

Abstract

We generalize previous approach of Khrapak and Morfill [J. Chem. Phys. {\bf 134}, 094108 (2011)] to construct simple and sufficiently accurate freezing and melting equations for the conventional Lennard-Jones (LJ) system to $n$-6 LJ systems, using the accurate results for the triple points of these systems published by Sousa {\it et al.} [J. Chem. Phys. {\bf 136}, 174502 (2012)].
