Abstract
The melting temperature of nano-ice confined in micropores of MCM-41 is pre dicted by use of our simple model based on the Lindemann criterion. The mod el takes into consideration the density of the OH bonds of MCM-41 pores; it s prediction is consistent with the experimental results for the melting te mperature of nano-ice. The applicability of the Gibbs-Thompson equation to nanocrystals in the mesoscopic size range is compared with that of our mode l and a modification of that same equation is compared with our model.
