Abstract
We calculate the caloric equation of state and the specific heat for two-dimensional clusters of 55 and 105 atoms, using a Lennard-Jones pair potential function in a molecular dynamics simulation. We investigate the nature of the phase transition and find a melting point depression, with respect to the infinite system, which is a function of the size of the microcrystal.
