Abstract
We investigate the linear chain configurations of four- clusters in using a Skyrme cranked Hartree-Fock method and discuss the relationship between the stability of such states and angular momentum. We show the existence of a region of angular momentum () where the linear chain configuration is stabilized. For the first time we demonstrate that stable exotic states with a large moment of inertia () can exist.
