}By molecular dynamics simulations and free energy calculations based on Monte Carlo method, the detailed balance between Pt cluster isomers was investigated. For clusters of n ≤ 50, stationary equilibrium is achieved in 100 ns in the canonical ensemble, while longer time is needed for n > 50. Then, a statistical mechanical model was built to evaluate unimolecular isomerization rate and simplify the prediction of isomer formation probability. This model is simpler than transition state theory…

These results show that, even if a sticky intermolecular potential energetically disfavors icosahedral structures, the latter are frequently produced because the stickiness of the potential itself enhances kinetic trapping phenomena.
