Abstract

A new phenomenological model for calculation of formation energy of carbon nano-clusters of definite shape is proposed. The model uses only three energetic parameters: two first, Ec and ε5, being determined from comparison with experimental data, results of computer simulation for various carbon nano clusters, and the last one is dangling bond energy, Eb. Energies of formation of carbon clusters shaped as cylinder, sphere, icosahedral polyhedra, capsule, were calculated in frame of unified phenomenological approach, which allows to judge relative energetical stability of these clusters.
