- Abstract
The size and shape effects on melting, glass transition, and Kauzmann temperatures of SnO nanoparticles using Lindemann's criterion have been studied. The melting temperature of SnO nanoparticles decreases as the size of the particle decreases. As the particle size increases, melting temperature increases and approaches to the melting temperature 1,903 K of bulk irrespective of the shape. The glass transition and Kauzmann temperatures are analyzed through the size effect on the melting temperature. The glass transition and Kauzmann temperatures decrease with the decrease in size of SnO nanoparticles.
