| contents | Our understanding of the three basic states of matter (solids, liquids and gases) is based on temperature and pressure phase diagrams with three phase transition lines: solid-gas, liquid-gas and solid-liquid lines. There are analytical expressions $P(T)$ for the first two lines derived on a purely general-theoretical thermodynamic basis. In contrast, there exists no similar function for the third, melting, line (ML). Here, we develop a general two-phase theory of MLs and their analytical form. This theory predicts the parabolic form of the MLs for normal melting, relates the MLs to thermal and elastic properties of liquid and solid phases and quantitatively agrees with experimental MLs in different system types. We show that the parameters of the ML parabola are governed by fundamental physical constants. In this sense, parabolic MLs possess universality across different systems. |
