Abstract

Quadrupole, octupole and hexadecapole deformations of Na clusters are calculated. The quadrupole deformations correlate well with the splittings of the plasmonresonances. Octupole deformation is predicted for clusters around 46, 64, 104, ..., which creates a static dipole moment. Rotational lines in the microwave spectrum are expected.
