SIZE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON CONTACT MELTING OF SMALL-DIMENSIONAL PHASES

Abstract

The attempt to derive the relation for the temperature of contact melting of small-dimensional phases (nanoparticles, nanofilms) has been made with account for the A.I. Rusanov size dependence of the surface tension of nanoparticles.
