Abstract

The possibility of ellipsoidal distortions in free-electron metal clusters, analogous to the shape variations among atomic nuclei, is investigated with the use of a modified Nilsson Hamiltonian. In most cases, the predicted equilibrium shape is ellipsoidal rather than spherical, so that the spherical shells are divided into ellipsoidal subshells. A strong correlation is observed between the energy-level sequence of these subshells and the sequence of peaks in alkali-metal cluster mass spectra, indicating that metal clusters generally assume approximately ellipsoidal shapes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
