Popis: Stable structures and minima energies of ArnH2O (n = 1–26) clusters are determined by carrying out a stochastic search method coupling to molecular dynamics calculations. A nonrigid intramolecular potential surface together with a pairwise-additive intermolecular potential are used. A growing pattern mechanism is described for the structures in the ground state and a solvation process is observed. Molecular relaxation effects are characterized and the second differences on the cluster binding energies are calculated. The relative stability of the structures is discussed and compared with previous theoretical results. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2008
