“…The effect was originally observed by Takagi in thin films under an electron microscope. 33) Similar melting point depression experiments were carried out using a microcalorimeter on Sn nanoparticles 34) and on oxide-coated Al nanoparticles, 35) all showing a similar trend. The effect is understood to be explained by the GT pressure effect described above: the melting point depression, ÁT M , is proportional to the GT pressure ÁP due to the effect of surface stress in Eq.…”

This review examines the physical reasons why nanoparticles differ in structure from the bulk. Certain simple properties of nanoparticles are explained through these structural differences. A powerful method of measuring the three dimensional structure of nanoparticles, Coherent X-ray diffraction (CXD), is introduced. A key experiment is described that uses CXD to study the redistribution of strains on the surface of a Au nanocrystal. Some future perspectives are discussed in conclusion.

Most studies on melting under confinement focus only on the solid and liquid melt phases. Despite of its ubiquity, contributions from the capillary interface (liquid / vapor interface) are often neglected. In this study the melting behavior of small cylindrical aggregates in vapor attached to planar surfaces is analyzed. For the assumed boundary conditions (cylindrical solid with a non wetting top plane and a wettable side wall) solid and the liquid phases can coexist within a certain temperature range. Due to capillary instability, the liquid phase can form either an axisymmetric rouloid morphology or, above a certain threshold liquid volume fraction, a bulge coexisting with a rouloid-like section. The corresponding melting points are different. The analysis explicitly describes the behavior of a real system of small aggregates of long chain alkanes on planar substrates. It also gives qualitative insights into the melting behavior of small aggregates with anisotropic wetting behaviors in general. It reveals in particular how melting points and melting pathways depend on the energetic respectively morphological pathways leading to complete melting.
