Modelling the structure of clusters of C_60 molecules

We locate putative global minima for (C_60)_N clusters modelled by the potential of Pacheco and Prates-Ramalho up to N=105. These minima are based on icosahedral packing up to N=15, but above this size the lowest-energy structures are decahedral or close-packed. Although structures based on the 98-m...
