Abstract
In this paper, we review our recent works of solid-liquid phase transitions of nano particle Fe via molecular dynamics simulations. Firstly, we present our measurement of melting and solidification points of Fe in nano and bulk size. The melting points closer to equilibrium point than previous results validate our Finnis-Sinclair interactions thermodynamically. Moreover, we discuss the crystalline structures observed during the solidification and melting process. Specially, we discuss the lamellar structures and five-fold twins in nanoparticles Fe in detail.
