Evidence of kinetic trapping in clusters of C60 molecules.

Molecular dynamics simulations of the growth of nanoclusters of C60 provide convincing evidence that experimental magic numbers, which are associated with structures based on Mackay icosahedra, are of kinetic origin. This finding resolves a long-standing contradiction between the experimental observ...
