Abstract

Melting of a two-dimensional electron lattice is studied using the molecular-dynamics technique. It is found that the system undergoes a first-order phase transition between [=e2(n)12BT]=118-130. The system exhibits hysteresis in the temperature dependence of total energy and the coefficient of self-diffusion. The change in entropy on melting is found to be 0.3B per particle. © 1981 The American Physical Society.
