Wd. Schone et al., ANISOTROPIC EFFECTS IN THE OPTICAL-SPECTRA OF MAGIC METAL-CLUSTERS - THE ROLE OF IONIC STRUCTURE, Zeitschrift fur Physik. D, Atoms, molecules and clusters, 36(1), 1996, pp. 65-67
The effect of the ionic positions on the optical spectra of magic meta
l clusters is studied via pseudopotential perturbation theory. Electro
nic many-body effects are considered within perturbed time-dependent l
ocal-density-approximation. Quantitative agreement with recent experim
ents by Reiners et al. is obtained. In this way a natural explanation
is obtained for the temperature dependence of the optical absorption o
f magic metal clusters.
