EVIDENCE FOR MAGIC NUMBERS IN THE ELECTRONIC SHELL STRUCTURE OF LARGE CESIUM AND SODIUM CLUSTERS

Abstract
Magic numbers in cluster mass spectra can be caused by either geometric or electronic structure. The study of metallic compound clusters allows the number of atoms and the number of electrons in clusters to be controlled independently. We report magic numbers in the mass spectra of Cs-compound clusters and pure Na clusters containing up to 700 free electrons.
