Abstract

We have used a microscopic theory to study the size dependence of the degree of localization of the valence electrons and holes in neutral an ionized rare-gas-and Hg n clusters. We discuss under which circumstances localization of the electrons and holes is favoured. We have calculated the ionization potential of Xe n , Kr n and small Hg n clusters. Good agreement with experiments is obtained. We have also determined the dependence of the ionization potential on cluster structure.
