Abstract

The pressure-dependent melting temperature of bulk Si, bulk Ge and nanocrystalline (nc) Si are predicted by the Clapeyron equation where the pressure-dependent volume difference is modeled by introducing the effect of surface stress induced pressure. The predictions are found to be consistent with the present experimental and other theoretical results.
