Two different methods based on classical molecular dynamics have been developed in this thesis in order to determine the relative abundances of the different isomers of neutral carbon clusters of size varying between 2 and 54 atoms as well as the most stable isomer of each cluster; and to highlight the nature and mechanisms of sticking and then calculate their probabilities. We first developed a combined condensation-annealing method based on a thermal cycle comprising three phases : a condensation and heating phase, a constant temperature phase and a cooling phase. First, we identified the statistical abundances of the different types of isomers as a function of the thermal cycle parameters. Next, we identified the most stable isomer for e...
