Study of Temperature Dependence of Volume Thermal Expansion of Nanomaterials Using New Integral Form of Equation of State (IFEOS)

Abstract

The volume thermal expansion of nanomaterials under the influence of temperature has been studied using a new integral form of equation of state (IFEOS). A wide variety of nanomaterials such as fullerene (C60), 20 nm-Ni, 15 nm-(80Ni+20Fe), n-ZnO, n-TiO2 and n-NiO has been considered to analyse the influence of temperature on them. The acquired results were compared to existing experimental data as well as other theoretical approaches. The validity of the newly established integral form of equation of state (IFEOS) for nanomaterials is supported by excellent agreement between theory and current experimental data.
