Structure anti-Mackay

More precisely, if ,c = 0, the polymer forms a non-icosahedral structure, e.g., it is decahedral or fcc-like ,c = 1 indicates icosahedral geometry with Mackay overlayer or a complete icosahedron which might possess a few monomers bound in anti-Mackay type. Finally, for n,c > 2, the monomers form an icosahedral core with a considerably extended anti-Mackay overlayer. The probabilities(7) for the different values of njc as a function of temperature provide the necessary information to reveal structural transitions.
