Abstract
We analyze the shell and supershell structure of valence electrons in large metal clusters. For this purpose we use the spherical jellium model for the ions, treat the many-body problem of the interacting valence electrons selfconsistently in local-density approximation and solve numerically the Kohn-Sham equations for up to N ~ 6000 electrons. We investigate the influence of temperature effects on the shell structure and compare our results to experimental data and other calculations performed with phenomenological Woods–Saxon potentials.
