The asymptotic behaviour of the inclting curves for substances with close-packed structures is analysed by means of Monte Carlo caIculations on model systems of hard spheres. The Kraut--Kennedy melting law does not show the correct asymptotic behaviour. On this basis some recent results on the physics of the Earth's core are rejected. Higgins & Kennedy (1971) have estimated that the melting temperature of iron at pressures equivalent to the inner core-outer core boundary is circa 4500°K with a melting point gradient of approximately 500 " through the outer core. Their estimate is based on a hundred-fold linear extrapolation of the 30 kbar experimental results of Sterret, Klement & Kennedy (1965), by assuming that the melti...
