Melting entropy and enthalpy of metallic nanoparticles: size and shape effects
This work provides a comprehensive theoretical study on the size and shape dependence of melting entropy and enthalpy for metallic nanoparticles by utilizing the bond energy framework. Numerical computations have been carried out for silver (Ag), copper (Cu), indium (In), and tin (Sn) nanoparticles up to 50 nm with various shapes. Our theoretical predictions are validated by comparing with reported experimental data, molecular simulations, and previous theoretical calculations. Our findings reveal that both melting entropy and enthalpy rise sharply with size when the nanoparticle diameter is smaller than 10 nm. Beyond this range, melting entropy and enthalpy tend to converge toward those of bulk material, highlighting the significant role of surface effects in the thermodynamic properties of metallic nanoparticles. The size presents a stronger influence than shape on nanoparticle melting enthalpy and entropy.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the Journal of Nanoparticle Research is to disseminate knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological phenomena and processes in structures that have at least one lengthscale ranging from molecular to approximately 100 nm (or submicron in some situations), and exhibit improved and novel properties that are a direct result of their small size.
Nanoparticle research is a key component of nanoscience, nanoengineering and nanotechnology.
The focus of the Journal is on the specific concepts, properties, phenomena, and processes related to particles, tubes, layers, macromolecules, clusters and other finite structures of the nanoscale size range. Synthesis, assembly, transport, reactivity, and stability of such structures are considered. Development of in-situ and ex-situ instrumentation for characterization of nanoparticles and their interfaces should be based on new principles for probing properties and phenomena not well understood at the nanometer scale. Modeling and simulation may include atom-based quantum mechanics; molecular dynamics; single-particle, multi-body and continuum based models; fractals; other methods suitable for modeling particle synthesis, assembling and interaction processes. Realization and application of systems, structures and devices with novel functions obtained via precursor nanoparticles is emphasized. Approaches may include gas-, liquid-, solid-, and vacuum-based processes, size reduction, chemical- and bio-self assembly. Contributions include utilization of nanoparticle systems for enhancing a phenomenon or process and particle assembling into hierarchical structures, as well as formulation and the administration of drugs. Synergistic approaches originating from different disciplines and technologies, and interaction between the research providers and users in this field, are encouraged.
