Abstract

Thermodynamic Calculation of Melting Heat

Sobko AA

In the present paper, the method for approximate calculation of phase space volumes proposed in Ref. [1] is extended. Expressions for the melting heat of materials with f.c.c., b.c.c. and h.c.p. lattices are derived. Experimental results are compared to numerical calculations for a number of elements.
