Structures of inert atomic clusters and their magic numbers of geometry

The optimal configurations of all atoms in atomic microclusters of an inert element have been obtained from their arbitrary positions and shapes by means of a Lennard-Jones interaction potential between atoms in the clusters, calculating the binding energies of the clusters with the numbers of atoms...

Description
Summary:The optimal configurations of all atoms in atomic microclusters of an inert element have been obtained from their arbitrary positions and shapes by means of a Lennard-Jones interaction potential between atoms in the clusters, calculating the binding energies of the clusters with the numbers of atoms N â©˝ 14, which have shown the magic numbers of geometry in accordance with the experimental results. The structural pictures of such clusters are also presented.
