Abstract

Critical sizes and characteristics of nanoclusters and nanostructures are introduced as parameters of nanosystems. The following critical characteristics are under consideration: atomic and electronic magic numbers, critical size of cluster nucleation, critical size of melting–freezing of cluster, critical size of the first order magnetic phase transition. The critical characteristics are treated in terms of thermodynamics and tested by Mössbauer spectroscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy, heat capacity and other methods.
