Abstract
The static dipole polarizabilities of aluminum clusters with up to 61 atoms, measured with a novel position-sensitive time-of-flight mass spectrometer, are at odds with jellium predictions for clusters with less than 40 atoms and agree for larger clusters revealing for the first time the nonjellium-to-jellium transition in a metal cluster system.
