Prediction of Second Melting Temperatures Already Observed in Pure Elements by Molecular Dynamics Simulations

A second melting temperature occurs at a temperature T<sub>n+</sub> higher than T<sub>m</sub> in glass-forming melts after heating them from their glassy state. The melting entropy is reduced or increased depending on the thermal history and on the presence of antibonds or bo...
