abstract = {Melting of nanocrystalline bismuth oxide particles between
6 and 50 nm was investigated in situ in the transmission
electron microscope (TEM). It revealed a size-dependent
melting behavior with a strong melting point reduction
$(−55\%$ at 6 nm). One reason is a −230 K offset in the
bulk melting temperature which is apparently caused by the
β-phase in which the nanomaterial resides. As a second
reason, a strong size dependency was observed from which an
approximate solid-surface energy of 0.3 J/m2 was determined.
Yet, the conditions in the TEM could cause a lowering of the
transition temperatures compared to chemically neutral
conditions, although theoretical considerations predict
reduction in the solid state to be negligible. Everything
indicates that no stable, liquid surface layer forms prior
to melting. In spite of the covalent-ionic bonds in this
oxide material the qualitatively same size dependence shows
like in metals. Combined with size-dependent evaporation
examined in a companion study},
