Abstract

A global nature of the potential energy surface (PES) of water clusters, (H₂O)₂₀ and (H₂O)₆₄ was investigated by using a reaction coordinate analysis and an annealing method. It was shown for (H₂O)₆₄ that the successive reaction coordinates passing through low energy barriers lead to a deep minimum and the overall potential has so called a funnel structure, similar to PES of a protein folding. On the other hand, the smaller cluster (H₂O)₂₀ has the rugged PES of a 'fragile' type, resulting from distinct bond reordering.
