Storing hydrogen in materials is based on the observation that metals can reversibly absorb
hydrogen. However, the practical application of such a finding is found to be rather …

This article provides, in tutorial style, a review of X-ray scattering methods commonly used to
characterise nanoparticles and gives numerous case studies of basic science and industrial …

Thermodynamic model first published in 1909, is being used extensively to understand the
size-dependent melting of nanoparticles. Pawlow deduced an expression for the size …

The evidence of the change of the complex refractive index function E (m) of carbon and iron
nanoparticles as a function of their size was found from two-color time-resolved laser …

Nanoparticles have an immense importance in various fields, such as medicine, catalysis,
and various technological applications. Nanoparticles exhibit a significant depression in …

Abstract Models of melting taking into account the finite material size (as for example the
diameter of a spherical nanoparticle) lead to a melting point depression compared to the …

We investigated vapor bubbles generated upon irradiation of gold nanoparticles with
nanosecond laser pulses. Bubble formation was studied both with optical and acoustic …

The study of variation of the size and shape effect on the melting property of gallium nitride
nanoparticles with their spherical and cylindrical geometrical feature is theoretically …

Abnormal melting point depression of metal nanoparticles often occurs in heterogeneous
catalytic reactions, which leads to a reduction in the stability of reactive nanoclusters. To …

This review deals with the mathematical models describing the reduction of melting
temperature and enthalpy of solids in the nano-size range. In particular, the attention …
