Approaches to the prediction of the properties of small particles with diameter down to 1-2 nm are proposed using the Thomson–Kelvin, Clapeyron–Clausius, and Laplace laws as well as the Poynting effect. Particles with minimal dimensions but with a well-formed surface characterized by surface tension were found to be optimal relative to chemical potential.
