The Analytical Theory of Bulk Melting I: Exact Solution of the One-dimensional Atom Chain
Yajun Zhou, Xiaofeng Jin
We investigate theoretically the crucial rôle of interstitialcies that trigger the melting of a boundary-free crystal. Based on an interstitialcy model that resembles the -$J_…

The Analytical Theory of Bulk Melting II: Variational Method Solution in the FCC Crystal
Yajun Zhou, Xiaofeng Jin
Continuing the arguments in Paper I (arXiv: cond-mat/0405487), we model the temperature dependence of interstitial defects in a surface-free face-centered-cubic (fcc) elemental cry…
