Contrary to continuous phase transitions, where renormalization group theory provides a
general framework, for discontinuous phase transitions such a framework seems to be …

An extension of the classic thermodynamics theory to nanometer scale has generated a new
interdisciplinary theory–nanothermodynamics. It serves as a bridge between macroscopic …

The size-dependences of the melting point, Debye temperature, thermal expansion
coefficient, and the specific heat of nanostructured materials have been modeled free of …

Historical development of the concept of electronegativity (EN) and its significance and
prospects for physical and structural chemistry are discussed. The current cutting-edge …

An integrated model based on bond number and bond strength in a system with a cubo-
octahedral structure is developed to predict the size-dependent thermal characteristics of …

Based on the effective coordination number (ECN) viewpoint a model for the size
dependency of cohesive energy of nanocrystals has been developed. In order to calculate …

In this study, we report a theoretical model for the temperature and size dependent surface
energy of metallic nanomaterials. The model is verified by making a comparison with the …

Aqueous suspensions (colloids) containing detonation nano-diamond (DND) feature in most
applications of DND and are an indispensable stage of its production; therefore, the …

The lattice-type-sensitive model for the melting entropy and enthalpy of nanocrystals has
been presented based on a model for the size dependency of the melting point. In other …

The investigation of nanocluster behaviors at elevated temperatures is important because it
encompasses temperature-dependent structural evolution and size-dependent melting …
