Abstract
AbstractIt is proposed that the melting process is governed by the creation of lattice defects followed by a relaxation of the lattice in the vicinity of the defects. At the melting point Tm the mole fraction xL of defects within the melt is given by xL = L/ho (L heat of fusion; ho formation enthalpy of defects within the solid).
