چکیده
We present a phenomenological model of melting in nanoparticles with facets that are only partially wet by their liquid phase. We show that in this model, as the solid nanoparticle seeks to avoid coexistence with the liquid, the microcanonical melting temperature can exceed the bulk melting point, and that the onset of coexistence is a first-order transition. We show that these results are consistent with molecular dynamics simulations of aluminum nanoparticles which remain solid above the bulk melting temperature.

Garnet-type Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) is a solid electrolyte material with a low-conductivity tetragonal and a high-conductivity cubic phase. Using density-functional theory and variable cell shape molecular dynamics simulations, we show that the tetragonal phase stability is dependent on a simultaneous ordering of the Li ions on the Li sublattice and a volume-preserving tetragonal distortion that re...

Recently we have shown that Y bInCu4 and related compounds present a solid state Pomeranchuk effect. These systems have a first order volume transition where a local moment phase coexists with a renormalized Fermi liquid in analogy with 3 He at its melting curve. We demonstrate here experimentally that the solid state Pomeranchuk effect, controlled by a magnetic field, can be used to produce co...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations of the melting of aluminum nanoparticles.
Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to determine the melting points of aluminum nanoparticles of 55-1000 atoms with the Streitz-Mintmire [Phys. Rev. B 1994, 50, 11996] variable-charge electrostatic plus potential. The melting of the nanoparticles is characterized by studying the temperature dependence of the potential energy and Lindemann index. Nanoparticles with less than 850 atoms s...

Based on density functional calculations, optimized structures of graphite oxide are found for various coverage by oxygen and hydroxyl groups, as well as their ratio corresponding to the minimum of total energy. The model proposed describes well known experimental results. In particular, it explains why it is so difficult to reduce the graphite oxide up to pure graphene. Evolution of the electr...
