The structural properties of free nanoclusters are reviewed. Special attention is paid to the
interplay of energetic, thermodynamic, and kinetic factors in the explanation of cluster …

Melting of solids is a common phenomenon in nature. It is also one of the most important
phase transformations in materials science and engineering. In recent years, extensive …

For the first time, the latent heat of fusion Δ H m for Sn particles formed by evaporation on
inert substrate with radii ranging from 5 to 50 nm has been measured directly using a novel …

Organic–inorganic metal halide perovskite solar cells have emerged in the past few years to
promise highly efficient photovoltaic devices at low costs. Here, temperature‐sensitive core …

We present a detailed molecular-dynamics study of the melting, freezing, and coalescence
of gold nanoclusters within the framework of the embedded-atom method. Concerning …

The response of gold nanorods to both thermal and ultrafast laser-induced heating has been
examined. The thermal heating experiments show structural changes that occur on …

The present work investigates the coalescence process of two gold nanoparticles for a host
of initial temperatures and starting radii in vacuum with the help of molecular dynamics (MD) …

In this paper first a generally valid model is derived from the two fundamental equations of
Gibbs for temperature and composition dependences of all types of interfacial energies. This …

We use high purity Fe oxide nanoparticles to confirm the Fe 2p X-ray photoemission peak
attributions made in our previous study of Fe nanoparticles and the initial stage of their …

An unusual precipitate structure in ternary Al (Sc, Zr) alloys has been revealed by analytical
and high resolution transmission electron microscopy. Coherent precipitates with L12 …
