Ev. Polyakov et Rn. Pletnev, Relation between metallicity of chemical bonds and first-order phase transition temperatures, RUSS J PH C, 73(12), 1999, pp. 1906-1908
An equation relating the degree of metallicity (mu) to critical temperature
s of first-order phase transitions (T-c) was obtained. The equation was use
d to describe the T-c(mu) dependences for melting and bailing points of sim
ple substances (fourth period elements).
