The heat capacity curves of the n = 13 and 19 clusters are found to have pronounced peaks that can be associated with cluster melting. In addition, there is evidence of a low temperature "solid ↔ solid" transition in the case of (CO2)19. The low-energy minima and rearrangement pathways are determined and used to examine the complexity of the potential energy surfaces of the clusters. date: 2003-07-31 date_type: published publication: Journal of Physical Chemistry A volume: 107 number: 30 pagerange: 5703 - 5709 refereed: TRUE issn: 1089-5639 id_number: 10.1021/jp0345295 citation: Liu, H and Jordan, KD (2003) Finite temperature properties of (CO2)n clusters.
