A semi-empirical thermodynamic model for size dependency of melting point of nano particles and wires has been proposed by introducing a size dependency of surface energy. The model predicts the size dependency of melting point of nano particles and wires for a wide range of elements: fcc (Au, Pt, Ni), hcp (Mg), and bcc (W), all in good agreement with experimental data and/or molecular dynamics simulations. Since the model is free from adjustable parameters, it is applicable to a wider range of materials.
