In petrology and materials science, the solidus is the temperature boundary, drawn on a phase diagram, below which a given composition is entirely solid; heat it past the solidus and the first drop of melt appears, while complete melting is not reached until the higher liquidus. Hirschmann's 2000 Mantle solidus: Experimental constraints and the effects of peridotite composition compiled the experiments that fix where mantle rock begins to melt. The referent is a melting-onset curve in temperature–composition space, and it shares only its spelling with the punctuation mark and the Roman coin, all three descending separately from the Latin solidus.[1]
