Hoffman–Weeks plot

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.12775
Plot of melting temperature, \(T_{\rm{m}}\), vs. crystallisation temperature, \(T_{\rm{cr}}\).
Notes:
  1. A Hoffman–Weeks plot is used to determine the equilibrium melting temperature, \(T_{\rm{m}}^{0}\).
  2. \(T_{\rm{m}}^{0}\) is determined as the intersection of the straight line that describes \(T_{\rm{cr}} = T_{\rm{m}}\) with the extrapolated curve that is drawn through the experimental data points (\(T_{\rm{cr}}\), \(T_{\rm{m}}\)).
