Abstract
We present likely candidates for the lowest energy minima of (C60)N clusters
with N=<80 modelled by the Girifalco potential.
For N>13 the clusters exhibit decahedral and close-packed structures,
rather than icosahedral.
This is a consequence of the short range of attraction of the C60
intermolecular potential relative to the equilibrium pair separation.
