New insights into the melting behavior of MgO from molecular dynamics simulations: the importance of premelting effects.

We provide a plausible resolution of a long-standing controversy relevant to the geophysics community, namely, that the experimental slope of the melting curve Tm(P) of MgO at low pressures is about 3 times smaller than that obtained from computer simulation of the melting of the normal rock-salt-st...
