AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The melting parameter Gamma(m) of a classical one-component plasma is estimated using a relation between the melting temperature, density, shear modulus, and a crystal coordination number that follows from our model of dislocation-mediated melting. We obtain gamma(m)=172+/-35, in good agreement with the results of numerous Monte Carlo calculations.

Elastic stability is the basis for understanding structural responses to external stimuli in crystalline solids, including melting, incipient plasticity and fracture. In this work, elastic stability is investigated in a series of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) using in situ mechanical tests and atomic-resolution characterization in transmission electron microscopy. Under tensile loading, the HEA lattices are observed to undergo a sudden loss of ordering as the elastic strain reached ∽ 10%.

We report an experimental investigation of the transition from a hexagonally ordered solid phase to a disordered liquid in a monolayer of vibrated spheres. The transition occurs as the intensity of the vibration amplitude is increased. Measurements of the density of dislocations and the positional and orientational correlation functions show evidence for a dislocation-mediated continuous transition from a solid phase with long-range order to a liquid with only short-range order.

A distinctive two-dimensional (2D) melting transition occurring at nearly 100 degrees Celsius ( degrees C) has been observed in Langmuir-Blodgett films by in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM). A 2D orthorhombic crystal phase melted to a 2D smectic phase at about 91 degrees C. The smectic phase was characterized by 1D molecular periodicity with short-range correlations (about 40 angstroms).
