Abstract
Using the local-density-functional method and spherical jellium model, the electronic structure and static polarizability α(0) of small simple metal clusters (Al, Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs) surrounding by media with dielectric constants ε = 1 ÷ 25 have been calculated. It has been obtained that α(0) of the smallest clusters with a low mean valence electron density is a decreasing function of ε, whereas for the clusters with a high valence electron density it rises with ε.
