Melting tungsten nanoparticles: a molecular dynamics study
Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 2008•iopscience.iop.org
We report a molecular dynamics simulation of melting of tungsten (W) nanoparticles. The
modified embedded atom method interatomic potentials are used to describe the interaction
between tungsten atoms. The melting temperature of unsupported tungsten nanoparticles of
different sizes are found to decrease as the size of the particles decreases. The melting
temperature obtained in this study is approximately a decreasing function of inverse radius,

Abstract
We report a molecular dynamics simulation of melting of tungsten (W) nanoparticles. The modified embedded atom method interatomic potentials are used to describe the interaction between tungsten atoms. The melting temperature of unsupported tungsten nanoparticles of different sizes are found to decrease as the size of the particles decreases. The melting temperature obtained in this study is approximately a decreasing function of inverse radius, in good agreement with the predictions of thermodynamic models. We also observed that the melting of a W nanoparticle is preceded by the premelting of its outer skin at a temperature lower than its melting temperature.
