The equation of state of the Lennard-Jones model.
Melting line
The solid and liquid densities along the melting line are given by the equations of Mastny and de Pablo (Ref. 4 Eqs. 20 and 21):
![{\displaystyle \rho _{\mathrm {solid} }=\beta ^{-1/4}\left[0.908629-0.041510\beta +0.514632\beta ^{2}-0.708590\beta ^{3}+0.428351\beta ^{4}-0.095229\beta ^{5}\right]}](https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/9d42739dd208f4ac0bb02525ea454ca8598593fd)
and
![{\displaystyle \rho _{\mathrm {liquid} }=\beta ^{-1/4}\left[0.90735-0.27120\beta +0.91784\beta ^{2}-1.16270\beta ^{3}+0.68012\beta ^{4}-0.15284\beta ^{5}\right]}](https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/f25d53a5319a238d2c5b4ace3f32f59054dea660)
