We have performed molecular dynamics simulations for Pt N + Pt N โ Pt 2N (N = 147, 324, 500,792), to investigate the effect of size and substrate on coalescence temperature. Our simulations show that platinum nanoclusters coalesce at the temperatures lower than the cluster melting point. The differe
