| Abstract: | A model has been developed to account for the dependence of melting temperature of nanoparticles on their size, shape and lattice type. This model is consistent with reported experimental data and shows better consistency than the liquid drop and bond energy model. A general equation is proposed which correlates with the bond energy model formula and has high potential for application in research and development. The model also leads to an equation showing the limiting size for nanoparticles. |
