Models of defect-mediated melting

  • Published:
International Journal of Theoretical Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A survey is given of recent Monte Carlo studies of lattice defect models for melting in three and two dimensions. In two dimensions special emphasis is laid upon a recently proposed model which exhibits a crossover from a single first-order transition to two successive transitions of the Kosterlitz-Thouless type.
