The structure and stability of the Li+Arn and K+Arn clusters are studied using pair additive potentials adapted to reproduce the ab initio calculations that we estimate as the most accurate for the Li+Ar, K+Ar, and Ar–Ar dimers. The exploration of the potential energy surfaces of the Li+Arn and K+Arn systems was carried out with Wales’ method, which includes Monte-Carlo and deformation methods. From a structural point of view, one identifies a construction mechanism in very good agreement with the interpretation of the mass spectrum done by Velegrakis, including a difference for the n = 10 case. The study of the relative stability of these structures yields magic numbers for n = 8, 10, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 30, 32, and 34, which are in good agreement with the experiment.

Monte Carlo classical trajectory methods for simulating intramolecular dynamics, including chemical reactions, in large polyatomic molecules are described. Methods for performing calculations corresponding to various kinds of experiments are discussed. Some approaches for formulating potential-energy surfaces are described.
