We study the effect of the potential energy function on the global minimum structures of argon clusters arising in the optimization performed by genetic algorithms (GAs). We propose a robust and efficient GA which allows for the calculation of all of the putative global minima of ArN (N = 3−78) clusters modeled with four different potentials. Both energetic and structural properties of such minima are compared ...
