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 (â—‹) 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.
