Abstract
A differential equation for determining the melting temperature of small-size particles has been derived within the framework of a thermodynamic approach. The equation has a rather general form that admits the dependence of physical quantities such as the heat of melting, surface tension, and molar volumes in the solid and liquid state on the particles radius. The result of the integration of the obtained equation in particular cases leads to the well-known formulas.
