Abstract
The size-dependent melting temperature and the size-dependent melting entro py of organic nanocrystals are predicted by use of our simple model being f ree of any adjustable parameter. The model predictions for the size-depende nt melting temperature and the size-dependent melting entropy are supported by the experimental results on benzene, chlorobenzene, heptane, and naphth alene nanocrystals.
