Abstract
AbstractThe regularities of the formation of (N + 2)‐atomic clusters obtained by the growth of (N + 1)‐atomic clusters and the distribution of the (N + 2)‐atomic clusters according to their stability are studied. The most stable (N + 2)‐atomic cluster is not always obtained from the most stable (N + 1)‐atomic cluster. Sometimes it is formed by the least stable (N + 1)‐atomic cluster.A necessary condition for the appearance of the most stable (N + 2)‐atomic cluster is the formation of a bond between the N + 2nd and the N + 1st atoms. This means that the most stable (N + 2)‐atomic cluster may be considered as obtained directly from the N‐atomic crystal by jumping over the stage of the (N + 1)‐atomic cluster and adding a dimer suitably oriented with respect to the N‐atomic crystal.The least stable (N + 2)‐atomic cluster is always obtained from the least stable (N + 1)‐atomic cluster.
