SnAg nanoparticles (SnAg NPs) were prepared by wet synthesis. The chemical composition of the SnAg NPs was obtained by inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry. The prepared fine powder samples were characterized by electron microscopic technique (SEM) and thermal analysis (DSC). The nanoparticles with different size were obtained. The size dependent melting point depression (MPD) of the SnAg NPs was determined experimentally. The size dependent phase diagram of the SnAg alloy was also calculated using CALPHAD method, which has been extended to describe the surface energy of SnAg nanoparticles. The same approach was used for SnAg eutectic MPD calculations. The own experimental and theoretical results were compared with the data of the other authors. The satisfactory agreement was found.

The melting point depression as a function of size has not been determined experimentally (orange line) for nickel before. This figure shows our results compared with molecular dynamic (blue) and thermodynamic (black, red, green) models.

Cadmium selenide nanocrystals were observed to have a size-dependent melting point which was depressed relative to the bulk melting temperature. The observed size-dependent melting point ranged from 500-1478 K, while a model based on the surface area to volume ratio predicted that is should range between 774-1250 K. The nanocrystals were heated in situ in the electron microscope, and the melting point was almost immediately followed by the vaporization of the CdSe nanocrystals, allowing for straightforward determination of the melting temperature. The differences between the observed melting point of CdSe nanocrystals and the values predicted by the surface area to volume ratio model indicates that additional factors are involved in the melting point depression of nanocrystals.
