Abstract:

We apply the self-consistent Einstein model to the theory of anharmonic lattice vibration in metallic fine particles, and discuss the size dependence of the melting and superconducting transition temperatures in the connection to the softening of the surface lattice vibrations. Assuming a simple interatomic potential and certain distribution of the particle size, we express both transition temperatures as functions of the average radius of fine particles and show that the numerical results calculated from the theoretical expressions are in fairly good accord with the experiments.
