Abstract
The application of equilibrium thermodynamics to a nanosystem changes Gibbs’s rule ofgeometrical thermodynamics. This fact leads to the necessity to reconsider the phasediagram and solubility curve concepts. The notions of ‘solubility diagram’, ‘solidus’,‘liquidus’ are used to discuss the case of phase transition in Cu–Ni nanoparticles. It isshown that, in the limit where thermodynamic arguments remain valid, the solubilitydiagrams of nanoparticles are functions of their size and nucleation mode. This isdemonstrated for different sizes.
