Abstract
Using standard classical molecular dynamics, we calculate the complete caloric curves of various metallic, ionic, or van der Waals clusters of different sizes. The apparent melting temperature is shown to be shifted to upper values as the simulation length τ is decreased. The shift ΔTmelt roughly scales as Nα/τβ, where N is the number of particles, α is about 0.6, and β is about 2.1.
