Abstract
A method for evaluating the energy stability of carbon nanoclusters is prop osed. The stabilities of the nanoclusters with different structures, such a s diamond and graphite, tubulenes and graphite, are compared. Two series of stable clusters with new structures, namely, alm-ene and alm-ine, are deri ved. A comparison is performed for small graphite clusters containing boron atoms that play a significant role in the reaction of fullerene formation. (C) 2001 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
