Global Minimum Structures of Morse Clusters as a Function of the Range of the Potential: 81 ≤ N ≤ 160
journal contribution
posted on 2007-06-21, 00:00 authored by Longjiu Cheng, Jinlong YangWe have attempted to find the putative global minimum structures of Morse clusters for cluster size N =
81−160 as a function of the range of the potential (with potential range ρ0 ≥ 3.0). Moreover, compared to
the results for N ≤ 80 listed in the Cambridge Cluster Database, a number of new putative global minima are
given. A structural and conformational analysis of M100 for different ρ0 was given. The sequences of the
global minima as a function of ρ0 and N were studied, and the zero temperature “phase diagram” was given
for an overall view of how the global minima depend upon N and ρ0.
