Abstract

Understanding how solids melt and determining their melting temperatures is of great significance for studying the properties of materials. Based on the main idea of Lindemann's melting criterion and the first-principles calculation of density functional theory, we proposed the atomic mean square displacement method to predict the melting temperature of the material. In this paper, the application range of this method for calculating melting temperature is extended. 8 kinds of Ⅱ-Ⅵ compounds were selected as verification objects. The results show the accuracy of our method in predicting the melting temperature of Ⅱ-Ⅵ compounds.
