In this context it has been found that with increasing mass density, the rigid Coulomb lattice of the neutron star crust dissolves into the isotopes 40Mg and 46Si, with an integrates energy release of between ~ 1.8 MeV/u and ~ 2.4 MeV/u, depending on lattice models. cache/d791sf28c8g.txt txt/d791sf28c8g.txt
