Abstract

The melting of elemental solids is modelled as a dislocation pair-mediated transition on a lattice. Statistical mechanics of linear defects is used to obtain the relation between melting temperature and shear modulus. It is derived theoretically that the phase transition is the first order and the formula for latent heat is also derived.
