Mass spectra are reported for large sodium clusters warmed by a continuous laser beam prior to ionization. During the 1 ms warming period, the clusters lose more than IO% of their mass by single-atom evaporation. The resulting size distribution reveals what appears to be electronic shell structure f

Intensity anomalies (magic numbers) have been observed in the mass spectra of sodium clusters containing up to 22000 atoms. For small clusters (Na., n 6 1500) the anomalies appear to be due to the tilling of electronic shells. The mass spectra of larger clusters are well explained by the completion
The ionization potentials ( IPs) of copper clusters (Cu,) up to 150 atoms have been bracketed using laser photoionization. Large decreases in IP at n = 2, 8, 20, 30, 34, 40 and 60 atoms are observed, as well as a strong odd-even alternation extending beyond 100 atoms. These features correspond to e
The open-shell coupled-cluster method and the diagrams needed for its implementation are described. The method is applied to the electron ainities of Li and Na, which are calculated in two ways: as the ionization potential of the anions or as the energy of adding the second electron to the cations.
