摘要: Abstract Photoionization mass spectrometry experiments on cold and warm beams of Al N clusters reveal large, -specific discontunuities in their cohesive ionization properties. These can be interpreted terms bunching electron levels — large-shell structure through agreement with calculations based the spherical-jellium approximation. Specific deviations found for intermediate-size AL , differences between aluminum indium, are attributed to perturbation by ionic lattice spherical jellium orbitals.
