Abstract
The equilibrium equation of small-size phases for a one-component system, taking into account the size dependences of the pressure, temperature, and interface energy at the phase boundaries in the highly dispersed state, is presented. It is shown that the phase-transition and ternary-point temperatures decrease with a decrease in the particle size. Expressions are derived, which relate the surface tensions at the solid-vapor and solid-liquid interfaces (which are difficult to experimentally determine) to the liquid-vapor surface tension and other physical quantities, which can be experimentally determined with high accuracy. There is satisfactory agreement between the obtained results and experimental data.
