The melting properties of Au-N (N = 12, 13, 14) clusters have been investigated by constant energy Molecular Dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations on the basis of Sutton Chen potential. The minimum energy geometries of Au-12 and Au-14 are interesting because they are not ico-based in contrast to the other metal clusters with the same size. The melting temperatures of the clusters are reported and compared with the values given in the literature. Considerable reduction in the melting temperatures of the clusters has been found. The premelting stage of Au-14 is observed.
