The '''Ross melting rule''' states (Eq. 4 <ref>[http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRev.184.233 Marvin Ross "Generalized Lindemann Melting Law", Physical Review '''184''' pp. 233-242 (1969)]</ref>): | |||
:<math>A = \frac{1}{2} NE(0) - Nk_BT \ln \upsilon - Nk_BT \ln \upsilon_f^*</math> | |||
where <math>A</math> is the [[Helmholtz energy function]], <math>N</math> is the number of cells, <math>E(0)</math> is the potential at the centre of the cell, | |||
<math>k_B</math> is the [[Boltzmann constant]], <math>T</math> is the [[temperature]], <math>\upsilon</math> is the volume of the cell, and <math>\upsilon_f^*</math> is the dimensionless reduced volume in configuration space. | |||
