description

The electronic structure of simple metal clusters and quantum dots is studied on the basis of the density functional theory and simple models. It is demonstrated that single-particle models explain well the gross features of deformation and magnetism in small clusters, nuclei and quantum dots and that the local density approximation can give valuable information of the internal structure of the manybody state.
