Molecular dynamics study on the non-monotonous size-dependence of the melting temperatures of silver, copper and platinum nanoclusters

Abstract: The melting processes of copper, silver and platinum nanoclusters containing up to hundreds atoms were simulated by using molecular dynamics. The relationship between the melting point and the size of the clusters was studied, and it is found that the melting point did not decrease monotonically with cluster size when the clusters size was small enough. The reason for leading to this phenomenon was analyzed by computer.
