Lindemann melting criterion in two dimensions
It is demonstrated that the Lindemann's criterion of melting can be formulated for two-dimensional classical solids using statistical mechanics arguments. With this formulation the expressions for the melting temperature are equivalent in three and two dimensions. Moreover, in two dimensions th...
