Abstract
We compare the nature of different geometrical packings by presenting the dependence of the surface potential energy for microcrystallites of spherical atoms as a function of the cluster size, cluster packing and interaction range. Five polyhedron packings and the “approximately spherical” packing are studied. In general, the cubo-octahedron packings possess the minimum surface potential energy configuration.
