31. The growth behavior of Ag nanocrystals is consistent with a high H coverage.
32. Using the same EAM potential, we performed simulations indicating the critical diameter for unsuspended clusters to be about 2.5-3 nm, in good agreement with literature [3].
33. Formation of simulated clusters by quenching and annealing is different from the process of nucleation and growth of surface adatoms for experimental clusters, which is difficult to simulate.
