Description

A generalized bond-energy model has been developed to calculate the cohesive energy of nanoparticles by considering the different contributions of face-, edge- and corner-atoms. The model is adapted for metallic particles in a large size range from several atoms to infinity, studying their morphology, phase stability and melting point, etc
