Polytetrahedral ClustersJonathan P. K. Doye and David J. WalesPhys. Rev. Lett. 86, 5719-5722 (2001)AbstractBy studying the structures of clusters bound by a model potential that favours polytetrahedral order, we find a previously unknown series of `magic numbers' (i.e. sizes of special stability) whose polytetrahedral structures are characterized by disclination networks that are analogous to hydrocarbons.The full paper is available from PRL Online and the Los Alamos preprint server.
