Computational Study of the Structure and Thermodynamic Properties of Ammonium Chloride Clusters Using a Parallel J-Walking Approach

Alexander Matro, David L. Freeman, Robert Q. Topper

The thermodynamic and structural properties of (NH${}_4$Cl)${}_n$ clusters, n=3-10 are studied. Using the method of simulated annealing, the geometries of several isomers for each clus…
