Improved bounds for interatomic distance in Morse clusters
نویسندگان
چکیده
We improve the best known lower bounds on the distance between two points of a Morse cluster in R, with ρ ∈ [4.967, 15]. Our method is a generalization of the one applied to the Lennard-Jones potential in [2], and it also leads to improvements of lower bounds for the energy of a Morse cluster. Some of the numerical results have been announced in [1].

Minimal inter-particle distance in atom clusters
A general method for obtaining minimal interatomic distance in molecule conformation problems is introduced. The method can be applied to a wide family of potential energy functions having reasonable properties. Using this method new lower bounds for the minimal inter-particle distance for the optimal Lennard-Jones and Morse potential functions are derived which are independent from the number ...
متن کاملMinimal interatomic distance in Morse clusters
In this paper we derive a lower bound, independent from the number of atoms N , for the minimal interatomic distances between atoms in a cluster whose total energy is modelled by means of the so called Morse potential. A similar result was previously proven for Lennard-Jones clusters but the proof can not be extended to Morse clusters. Besides the theoretical interest, the derivation of this lo...
متن کاملNew bounds for Morse clusters
This paper presents improved lower bounds for the total energy and the minimal inter-particle distance in minimal energy atom cluster problems with interactions given by a Morse potential. The methods use simple arguments and can be employed directly for Morse clusters, where the atom separation problem is difficult due to the finite energy at zero atom separation. The theoretical results are a...
متن کاملStructural consequences of the range of the interatomic potential A menagerie of clusters
We have attempted to Ðnd 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 e†ect of decreasing the range is to destabilize strained structures, and hence the global minimum changes from icosahedral to decahedral to face-centred-cubic as the range is decreased. For N [ 45, the global minima asso...
متن کاملNew bounds for atomic clusters∗
This paper introduces a general method for obtaining lower bounds for the total energy and the minimal inter-particle distance in optimal atom cluster problems with pair potential functions under weak general conditions on the pair potential. The bounds obtained are sharper than those previously known for both the Lennard-Jones potential and various Morse potentials. Statistics on the putative ...
