Abstract
Axial and triaxial shapes of Na clusters are determined by means of th e shell-correction method.(1) The orbital paramagnetism and the diamag netism of small Na clusters are calculated. Odd axial clusters may hav e substantial orbital paramagnetic moments, which are quenched for tri axial shapes. Even clusters show diamagnetism, which is maximal for sp herical and attenuated for deformed shape.
