Here we analyze the topology of the network formed by the minima and transition states on the potential energy landscape of small clusters. We find that this network has both a small-world and scale-free character. In contrast to other scale-free networks, where the topology results from the dynamics of the network growth, the potential energy landscape is a static entity. Therefore, a fundamentally different organizing principle underlies this behavior: The potential energy landscape is highly heterogeneous with the low-energy minima having large basins of attraction and acting as the highly connected hubs in the network.
