Abstract
A modified variant of the self-consistent field theory is proposed for description of the fusion mechanism, with the effective interaction potential being a well-defined function of temperature. Because of the temperature dependence of the potential, a phase transition of the first sort and supercooled metastable liquid appear in the simple cell model. Superheating of the crystal is impossible in the model.
