Popis: The problem of nano-particles (NPs) stability is related to negative consequences due to quality deterioration and energetically conditioned. In this paper we model thermodynamic characteristics of a metal NP ensemble. The problem of changes in thermodynamic potentials (TPs) of an NP-ensemble is formulated and estimatively solved. This comprises two sub-problems, i.e. a surface tension related TP-increase and vacancy-related TP-decrease. Nano-ensembles with In and Au particles are considered. A TP specific increase due to surface tension reaches 3.1·10−5 J/mole (In) and 3.9·10−5 J/mole (Au) at 300 K, the specific vacancy-related decrease constitutes 3.4·105 J/mole (In) and 7.2·1015 J/mole (Au). The vacancy-related effect dominates provided the ensembles comprised extremely small NPs (
