Cluster melting: new, limiting, and liminal phenomena

The thermodynamic behaviour of clusters and nanoscale structures is both a challenge to the statistical basis of the theory, and of paramount importance to experiment. In this review, the competing influences that determine the melting temperature and behaviour of small atomic clusters is discussed,...
