The surface energy, particularly for nanoparticles, is one of the most important quantities in
understanding the thermodynamics of particles. Therefore, it is astonishing that there is still …

The sintering of nanosized particles is a scientific and technological topic that affects the
manufacture of bulk nanocrystalline materials and the understanding of the stability of …

Sintering is a method for manufacturing components from ceramic or metal powders by
heating the powder until the particles adhere to form the component required. The resulting …

On the basis of a model for size-dependent cohesive energy, the size, shape, and
dimensionality effects on melting temperatures of nanocrystals are modeled in a unified …

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 …

A theoretical model free of any adjustable parameter was derived based on the relation
between Gibbs energy change and size to describe the size-and shape-dependent behavior …

We present a relation between the average coordination number and the cohesive energy
for nanoparticles that shows that the ratio of nanoparticles cohesive energy to the bulk value …

Abstract The Heat Balance Integral Method (HBIM) is generally applied to one-dimensional
Cartesian heat flow and Stefan problems. The main reason for this being that solutions in …

The dependency of the surface-to-volume coordination number upon particle size has been
obtained by an analytical function based upon our previous work, and a model for melting …

The lattice-type-sensitive model has been developed to predict the size-dependent
depression of melting entropy and enthalpy of nanoparticles. The size-dependency of …
