Gupta Clusters

The Gupta family of potentials can be used to model a variety of metals.

Global optimization has been performed on the following Gupta clusters

Zinc

Cadmium

Lead

Sodium

Table of global minima

Points files for each minimum are accessible from the Tables.

The work described on the above pages can be found in the following papers:
