Hj. Krappe, SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NUCLEI AND METALLIC CLUSTERS IN THE LIQUID-DROP MODEL, Czechoslovak journal of Physics, 48(6-7), 1998, pp. 803-807
The gross features of potential-energy surfaces of metallic, liquid cl
usters are compared with the corresponding properties of nuclei and th
eir influence on the decay modes of excited systems is discussed. The
interaction of two spherical, surface-charged droplets is compared wit
h heavy-ion interaction potentials.
