Table 1.

Thermodynamic parameters for different strengths of the applied force. The ratio η is defined in Equation (2). The effective ratio is given by ηeff=ΔG/Hf. The extrapolated equilibrium melting temperature has been calculated based on Equation (1). The extrapolated equilibrium heat of fusion is given by Hf0=8.945 kJ/mol, see Figure 7.
