Abstract: The Monte-Carlo simulation of the coalescence of gold, copper and silver nanoparticles of different shapes was carried out. The interaction between nanoparticles was described by the many-body Gupta potential. An algorithm for detection and assessment of the dihedral angle was developed. An assessment of the dihedral angle between metal nanoparticles in the coalescence process was carried out.

Keywords: coalescence, gold nanoparticles, copper nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles, Monte-Carlo method, Gupta interatomic potential, phase transition, neck formation
