Abstract:
Recently, we have proposed a microscopic model, describing the properties of open-shell, Jahn-Teller deformed monovalent-metal clusters [1]. The model is based on the self-consistent ground-state calculation, allowing the spheroidal (axial) deformation of the ionic jellium background, driven by the open-shell valence electron structure. The ground state electronic properties of such clusters are further investigated and compared to recent experimental data: ionization potentials, electron affinities and binding energies of neutral monomers to cationic clusters [2].
