The stabilized jellium model is the simplest model which yields realistic results for the physical properties of simple metals. For the surface properties, its single input is the valence-electron density, which is described by the density parameter rs. We remark that the surface energy and the work function as a function of rs, within that model, are reasonably approximated by power laws and compare that behav...
Experiment indicates that small clusters show changes (mostly contractions) of the bond lengths with respect to bulk values. We use the stabilized jellium model to study the self-expansion and self-compression of spherical clusters (neutral or ionized) of simple metals. Results from Kohn — Sham density functional theory are presented for small clusters of Al and Na, including negatively-charged ones. We also ex...
