The characteristic sintering time obtained by the present MD simulations (circles) along with those of equations 2 (solid line), 3 (dashed line) and 4 (dotted line) as function of temperature for dp,0 = 2.5 nm. Increasing the temperature leads to shorter characteristic sintering times and therefore faster sintering in agreement with experimental observations.
