Abstract

A density functional model, based on the coarse grained density distribution is used to analyse the melting of hard spheres and discs. The role of the attractive interaction is modelled in a mean field approximation, to get the full solid-liquid-vapour phase diagram of a system with Lennard-Jones interactions.
