Most probable structure formed for different in-plane angles, γ, and for different patch widths, cosθmax, when all patches are identical. The triangles inside the red region represent parameters where the polyhedron forming with the highest yield is the icosahedron. Black crosses represent parameter values where open/incomplete clusters are more probable. The gray stars represent systems where closed clusters are able to form, but none of them is an Archimedean five-coordinated polyhedron. Thus, for the one-patch type “educated guess” solution, only the icosahedron is able to form. Results refer to T = 0.097 and ρ = 0.01. Temperature (T) is expressed in units of ε and kB = 1, while all lengths are in units of σ.
