Critical point of melting and its change at the decreases of a nanocrystal size

Interfacial melting mechanism of nanocrystals determined by interfacial energy and interfacial stress

“…Superheating when g ss is negative, and a positive g ss causes depression in T m (D). 27,28 Furthermore, there are also some theoretical works considering the thermal stability of bare NPs [29][30][31][32][33][34] and NS. 35,36 Therefore, determining the relationship between the physical quantities that describe the interface structure and the thermal stability of nanocrystals is crucial for the understanding of the melting mechanism.…”
