Abstract

A phenomenological model has been proposed that allows the volume change on melting of metals to be related to the valence, thermodynamic properties, and crystallographic parameters of the solid phase. Basic to the model are ideas that a phonon “analog of the Casimir force” plays a key role in determining the metal melting process.
