“…For example, within the framework of ab initio calculations, a many-particle potential is first formed, and then, by sorting through atomic configurations, the total force from all atoms on a selected atom is equal to zero, etc. As a result, the equilibrium shape of the cluster in vacuum, temperature T = 0 and distances between atoms correspond to zero pressure [20,21,[27][28][29][30], which can be considered as a mechanical analogue of thermodynamics (criticism of the thermodynamic approach for clusters in a rarefied atmosphere was given in [13]). The resulting cluster shape is never spherical.…”
