Abstract

The melting parameter Γm of a classical one-component plasma is estimated using a relation between melting temperature, density, shear modulus, and crystal coordination number that follows from our model of dislocation-mediated melting. We obtain Γm=172 35, in good agreement with the results of numerous Monte-Carlo calculations.
