Abstract
A criterion for the freezing of a liquid is investigated through an analysis of the contribution of multiparticle correlations to the statistical entropy. Molecular-dynamics results are presented for a Lennard-Jones system at two subcritical isotherms in a range of densities across the freezing line.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
