Stepwise Homogeneous Melting of Benzene Phase I at High Pressure

Stepwise Homogeneous Melting of Benzene Phase I at High Pressure

We investigate, using molecular dynamics simulations, the spontaneous homogeneous melting of benzene phase I under a high pressure of 1.0 GPa. We find an apparent stepwise transition via a metastable crystal phase, unlike the direct melting observed at ambient pressure. The transition to the metasta...
