Abstract
The Lindemann criterion for flux-lattice melting is extended to the limit of electronically decoupled layers (infinite effective mass perpendicular to the layers). The resulting melting temperature resembles the formula for two-dimensional melting in a film, but with an effective film thickness characteristic of electromagnetic interlayer coupling.Keywords
