Notes:
The Monte Carlo(MC) and Embedded-Atoms Method(EAM) potential are employed to investigate thestructures and binding energies of copper clusters. Three results are obtained: first, the copper clusters areformed by gradually increasing atoms to icosahedral surface when the temperature is 300K and the numberof atoms is from 2 to 70; second, the higher the symmetries are, the more stable the structures of copperclusters are; third, copper clusters tend to be stereo construction but not planer construction when thenumber of atoms is less. The structure of Cu147 is three-fly-icosahedron when the system of 147 atomsreached equilibrium at 300K. And at 700K, all 500 atoms form clusters in gas phase
