Configurations 03

  For six atoms there are 15 pair of links. The atoms can be placed into two nearby planes and this configuration has three sets of identical distances, r, s and t, for the following symmetrical arrangement.

Again there are only two independent parameters choosen to be ρ and σ which converge to the equilibrium value of 0.956.

So this configuration is slightly more dense than the previous configurations involving a fewer number of atoms. Each atom is attracted by the five other atoms to the center of the configuration.
