Abstract

A self-consistent, density functional calculation of the electronic structure of small metal spheres is reported. The jellium model of a metal where the positive ions are replaced by a uniform positive background is used in the calculation. The electronic structure, ionization potential and electron affinity are computed for spheres containing from 4 to 196 electrons.
