Thermally-induced surface reconstructions of Mackay icosahedra
Simulations of 561- and 923-atom Mackay icosahedra reveal that at energies below the melting point vacancies are generated in the surface layer of the icosahedra at the vertices and edges, and that the resulting adatoms diffuse across the surface. However, in contrast to the behaviour of smaller Mac...
