From: Melting of micro/nanoparticles considering anisotropy of surface energy
Size dependence of the melting temperature profile for Al nanoparticles. The black circles are the experimental data of a self-assembled Al nanoparticles made by Lai et al.8. The red and green lines represent the melting temperatures along the <010> and <111> crystal orientations, plotted with the asymptotic solution (17) considering the anisotropy of surface energy.
