Self-consistent calculation of the polarizability of small jellium spheres

D. E. Beck

Open publisher page 144 citations

Abstract

A self-consistent, density-functional calculation of the static polarizability of small metal spheres is reported. The jellium model of a metal, in which the positive ions are replaced by a uniform positive background, is employed, and the modified Sternheimer equation is used to compute the static dipole polarizability. The computations are reported for the closed-shell configurations containing from 8 to 254 electrons for neutral and charged spheres.
