Abstract

A new model of liquid-solid freezing, based on the orientational order in a three-dimensional liquid, is proposed. The novel aspect of the model is the inclusion of the coupling between the orientational and elastic degrees of freedom in a dense liquid. This allows for the explicit computation of several thermodynamic quantities of interest near the freezing transition.
