✦ Synopsis

The formation of clusters in compressed arson and xenon gases is studied with the molecular dynamics simularion technique using two-body Lennard-Jones and three-body Axilrod-Teller potentials. It is suggested that the occurrence of clusters corresponding to the "magic number"~~ = 13 for henon and the absence of such stable clusters for argon is due to the dispersion forces that result from triple-dipole interactions.

We report a rapid increase in the propensity of D,O molecules to incorporate into (H,O); clusters upon collisions between D,O and a distribution of (H\*O);, 6< n c 25, clusters. We interpret this effect by invoking a size-dependent associative electron detachment cross section which increases rapidl
