From: Including nonequilibrium interface kinetics in a continuum model for melting nanoscaled particles
The size dependent nature of the melting temperature of gold nanoparticles demonstrated by experiment data (○) from Dick et al.2.
The measurements are in good agreement with the Gibbs–Thomson relation equations (1)– (3), plotted here (dashed) with the thermodynamic constants for gold2,4.
