The distinctions in the mass spectra of large sodium (Na_N) and aluminum (Al_N) clusters are discussed. A semiclassical method is used to describe the shell effects within a spherical jellium model. It allows one to analyze the relative…
Exploring hidden effects that have been overlooked given the nominal global crystal symmetry but are indeed visible in solid-state materials has been a fascinating subject of research recently. Here, we introduce a novel hidden Zeeman-type…
