From: Melting of micro/nanoparticles considering anisotropy of surface energy
Size dependence of the melting temperature profile for indium nanoparticles. The black circles and black dotted line are the experimental data of a ball-milled sample and simulation data made by Lu and Jin7, respectively. The green and red lines denote the melting temperatures, plotted with the asymptotic solution (17) when the anisotropy of surface energy is considered. By contrast, the black solid line denotes the size dependent melting temperature reduction when disregarding the anisotropy of surface energy.
