Mean-field model of melting in superheated crystals based on a single experimentally measurable order parameter

Abstract Melting is one of the most studied phase transitions important for atomic, molecular, colloidal, and protein systems. However, there is currently no microscopic experimentally accessible criteria that can be used to reliably track a system evolution across the transition, while providing in...
