摘要
Many models have been developed to predict size-dependent melting temperature of nanoparticles. A new model based on the cluster mean coordination number (MCN) calculations is developed in this work. Results of the model for Al, Au. Pb, Ag, Cu, In, Sn, and Bi were compared with other models and experiments. The comparison indicated that the MCN model is in good agreement with available experimental values. It is also found that the melting temperature is more dependent on particle size as the atomic radius increased. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
