Abstract
For Ar2–29 and Ar +2–29 clusters at 20 K in the polarization model presented here the electrodynamical dipole-dipole many-body problem is solved selfconsistently with the Monte-Carlo method (MC) at 20 K, i.e. the instantaneous dipole-dipole interaction is solved to infinite perturbation order and in cluster expansion to the order of the cluster size. The long range many-body dipole-dipole interaction is coupled to exchange interaction by a modified effective dipole polarizability. This model will be compared to the dimer model and classical MC simulation of Ar n . The resulting different magic numbers in the binding energies are discussed in this connection with different experimental techniques of cluster ionization. By the mean square cluster diameter a shape parameter is introduced and it is found that with this parameter structural form transition in cluster growth can be resolved, and surprisingly do not correlate with the magic numbers.
