Abstract
The electronic structure of assembled closed shell clusters have been analyzed using a spherical, stabilized jellium description of the clusters. The effects of including stabilization terms to the jellium model were investigated by calculating the properties of cluster dimers, (Na20)2 and ( Cu 20)2. In addition, the electronic properties of a material consisting of closed shell Al 12X clusters, where X is C or Si, were investigated using a model of six clusters. The large gap at the Fermi level present for the building blocks was also found to appear for the cluster-assembled material. The binding energy of the clusters in the cluster-assembled material was compared with that of an atomic Al lattice.
