Abstract

The formation of cluster-assembled materials using the sintering process is investigated. We present a model that describes the initial stages exactly using information derived from ab initio calculations of cluster behavior. Surface area, effective cross section and density of the cluster-assembled material, are calculated as functions of time for several implementations of the model.
