A self-consistent statistical method [Phys. Rev. B66, 054302 (2002)] is used to describe thermodynamic properties of free rare gas nanocrystals using thin plates as examples. It is shown that size influence on thermodynamic properties of nanocrystals is caused by size-dependent quantization of the v...
