Abstract

Skin-resolved energy density determines the elasticity of nanograins. Skin-resolved cohesive energy loss depresses the thermal stability. Elasticity of a specimen may rise or drop with size reduction, depending on the separation between the melting point and the temperature of operation, Tm–T. Heating lengthens and softens the representative bond and hence lowers the energy density and elasticity. Compression shortens and stiffens the representative bond and raises the elasticity.
