What Are Some Examples of Phase Transformations in Nanotechnology?
One notable example is the melting point depression of nanoparticles, where nanoparticles melt at lower temperatures compared to their bulk counterparts. Another example is the size-dependent phase stability observed in metal nanoparticles, where certain phases can be stable only within specific size ranges. Additionally, shape memory alloys at the nanoscale can exhibit unique phase transformation behaviors that can be exploited in nanoactuators and nanosensors.
