Abstract
Described here are the results of our attempts to design densely-packed, non-crystalline clusters of up to several hundred soft spheres. It is shown that units of dodecahedral symmetry can be built into large centrally-symmetric structures based on the 56 radial net. These designed clusters, along with relaxed models of random assemblies of spheres, are then used to, demonstrate that large ordered regions may exist in amorphous materialsKeywords
