For the first time, the latent heat of fusion DH m for Sn particles formed by evaporation on inert substrate with radii ranging from 5 to 50 nm has been measured directly using a novel scanning nanocalorimeter. A particle-size-dependent reduction of DH m has been observed. An "excluded volume" is in
