The melting behavior of Zn nanowires embedded in the holes of porous anodic alumina membrane with different diameters was studied by using the differential scanning calorimetry. The crystalline structure and morphology of Zn nanowire arrays were characterized by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The melting temperature of Zn nanowire arrays shows the strong dependence on nanowire sizes. The melting temperature was curvilinear with the reciprocal of the diameter of nanowires with the change of the diameter, which was discussed in terms of size-dependent heat of fusion change.
