Abstract

The electronic shell structure of gallium clusters has been investigated up to nearly 15 000 valence electrons and two successive supershell nodes are observed. The location of these nodes around 2500 and 7500 electrons, respectively, is interpreted in the framework of the jellium model by introducing the ion pseudopotential and a surface softness for the ionic density.
