Abstract:
The method of molecular dynamics is applied to investigate the stability of water clusters containing up to 90 molecules. With increasing size of aggregates, (H2O)n≥10 10, their thermal stability strengthens. Mechanical stability of great clusters keeps the quickly reached level, and the coefficient of dielectric stability passes through the maximum at n = 50.
