Capture of low-energy electrons by simple closed-shell metal clusters - art. no. 023202

摘要

The capture by polarization forces of low-energy electrons by closed-shell sodium clusters has been studied in the framework of the time-dependent local density approximation within the spherical jellium model and the classical scattering theory of Langevin. Results for Na-20, Na-40, and Na-58 are compared with the predictions of the classical image charge model and recent experimental results by Kasperovich et al. [Phys. Rev. A 60, 3071 (1999)].
