Molybdenum Nanoclusters: Table of Global Minima obtained using Finnis-Sinclair potential


Global minima for Molybdenum nanoclusters (3-100 atoms) interacting with the Finnis-Sinclair potential [1]

[1] Finnis, M.W. and Sinclair, J.E. Phil. Mag. A 50 45-55 (1984).

For each minimum the energy and point group are given. The unit of energy is eV.
