...Shuai Zhang; Lei Chen Size effect on melting point is closely related with the surface energy of nanoparticles, since the increased surface/volume ratio. As the nanoparticle’s size decreases, there have some different surface shape existing, which makes the coordination number are different from...

...Shuai Zhang; Hui Li A simple model for the size dependence of liquid–vapor surface energy of a liquid drop, free of any adjustable parameter, has been extended for the size dependence of the surface energy of nanovoids in this work. Considering nanovoids, there is a negative curvature on the void...
