On the size dependences of the crystal-liquid phase transition parameters

A comparatively simple method is proposed for calculating the size dependences of the latent heat, volume jumps, and the interfacial surface energy for the crystal-liquid phase transition proceeding from the results of experiments (real or computer) on determining size dependences of the melting point and the crystallization temperature. The method is tested on the basis of computer simulation data for copper, gold, aluminum, and nickel nanoparticles and experimental data for tin.
