Structural consequences of the range of the interatomic potential - A menagerie of clusters
We have attempted to find the global minima of clusters containing between 20 and 80 atoms bound by the Morse potential, as a function of the range of the interatomic force. The effect of decreasing the range is to destabilize strained structures, and hence the global minimum changes from icosahedra...
