Lindemann melting criterion in two dimensions
arXiv:2002.00651 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.2.012040
Abstract
It is demonstrated that the Lindemann's criterion of melting can be formulated for two-dimensional classical solids using statistical mechanics arguments. With this formulation the expressions for the melting temperature are equivalent in three and two dimensions. Moreover, in two dimensions the Lindemann's melting criterion essentially coincides with the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless-Halperin-Nelson-Young melting condition of dislocation unbinding.
