The shell structure of the valence electrons is clearly observed in all alkali and noble metal clusters containing up to hundreds of atoms[1 – 4]. It is seen in the abundances of the clusters, in the ionization potential and in the polarizability. The shell structure of the valence electrons is closely related to the shell model of nuclei, but is simpler owing to the negligibly small spin-orbit interaction. The ability to produce all sizes of metal clusters has made the metal clusters a test ground for the super-shell structure[5].
