Two interfacial phases were identified: 1) a disordered interfacial phase, i.e., the experimentally observed premelted surface layer; and 2) an ordered surficial phase displaying a remnant degree of order in fully melted particles. A volumetric partially disordered particle core is predicted to exist for small particle sizes, r&lt;7 nm. Four regimes of behavior are discussed: a) <em>the classic premelting regime<\/em>, for r>20 nm, in which the surface of the particle forms a liquid shell at temperatures below melting with clear delineation between the solid core and the premelted surficial liquid shell, as traditionally expected; b) <em>the transition regime<\/em>, for 5&lt;r&lt;20 nm, in which the volumetric chemical potential and interfacial forces balance each other out; c) <em>the disordered volume phase regime<\/em>, for r&lt;5 nm, in which a disordered interphase dominates the thermodynamic equilibrium of the system resulting in a partially crystalline core, and d) <em>the mesoscale regime<\/em>, in which the nanoparticles are no longer considered crystalline and experience an associated decrease in latent heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-attachment-id=\"930\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/engineering.purdue.edu\/ComputationalMaterials\/index.php\/2022\/06\/08\/l-d-robinson-k-s-n-vikrant-j-e-blendell-c-a-handwerker-r-e-garcia-interfacial-and-volumetric-melting-regimes-of-sn-nanoparticles-acta-materialia-in-press-2022\/1-s2-0-s1359645422004657-ga1_lrg-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineering.purdue.edu\/ComputationalMaterials\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-s2.0-S1359645422004657-ga1_lrg-1.jpg?fit=1085%2C1085&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1085,1085\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"1-s2.0-S1359645422004657-ga1_lrg-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineering.purdue.edu\/ComputationalMaterials\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-s2.0-S1359645422004657-ga1_lrg-1.jpg?fit=657%2C657&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineering.purdue.edu\/ComputationalMaterials\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-s2.0-S1359645422004657-ga1_lrg-1.jpg?fit=1060%2C1060&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1060\" height=\"1060\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineering.purdue.edu\/ComputationalMaterials\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-s2.0-S1359645422004657-ga1_lrg-1.jpg?resize=1060%2C1060&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineering.purdue.edu\/ComputationalMaterials\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-s2.0-S1359645422004657-ga1_lrg-1.jpg?w=1085&amp;ssl=1 1085w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineering.purdue.edu\/ComputationalMaterials\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-s2.0-S1359645422004657-ga1_lrg-1.jpg?resize=657%2C657&amp;ssl=1 657w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineering.purdue.edu\/ComputationalMaterials\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-s2.0-S1359645422004657-ga1_lrg-1.jpg?resize=1060%2C1060&amp;ssl=1 1060w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineering.purdue.edu\/ComputationalMaterials\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-s2.0-S1359645422004657-ga1_lrg-1.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineering.purdue.edu\/ComputationalMaterials\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1-s2.0-S1359645422004657-ga1_lrg-1.jpg?resize=420%2C420&amp;ssl=1 420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1060px) 100vw, 1060px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"post-excerpt\" class=\"post-excerpt\">L.D.
