Rough droplet model for spherical metal clusters
We study the thermally activated oscillations, or capillary waves, of a neutral metal cluster within the liquid drop model. These deformations correspond to a surface roughness which we characterize by a single parameter ∆. We derive a simple analytic expression determining ∆ as a function of temperature and cluster size. We then estimate the induced effects on shell structure by means of a per...

We study the thermally activated oscillations, or capillary waves, of a neutral metal cluster within the liquid drop model. These deformations correspond to a surface roughness which we characterize by a single parameter ∆. We derive a simple analytic approximate expression determining ∆ as a function of temperature and cluster size. We then estimate the induced effects on shell structure by me...
متن کاملA Compact Model for Spherical Rough Contacts
A new model is developed that considers the effect of roughness on the elastic contact of spherical bodies. A general pressure distribution is proposed that encompasses the contact of rough spheres and yields the Hertzian theory for ideally smooth surfaces. A new parameter, nondimensional maximum contact pressure, is introduced and it is shown that this is the key parameter that controls the co...
متن کاملTwist mode in spherical alkali metal clusters.
A remarkable orbital quadrupole magnetic resonance, so-called twist mode, is predicted in alkali metal clusters where it is represented by Ipi = 2(-) low-energy excitations of valence electrons with strong M2 transitions to the ground state. We treat the twist by both macroscopic and microscopic ways. In the latter case, the shell structure of clusters is fully exploited, which is crucial for t...
متن کاملTwo-step Liquid Drop Model for Binary, Metal-rich Clusters
It is shown that differences observed between the ionization potentials of the molecular-doped metallic clusters and those corresponding to the bare metallic ones can be explained by a two-step approach of the classical Liquid Drop Model. This approach takes into account the distinct physical properties of the interface between the molecular core and the metallic shell. Also, it is shown that t...
