Abstract

A new mechanical equilibrium configuration for the cluster Na309 is presented. According to density functional theory (DFT), it is a closed shell geometry only 2.39 meV/atom less cohesive than the stablest one. It could be the structure whose presence was detected in previous experimental studies. With the goal of help the experiment to evaluate this possibility, we calculated the density of the electronic states (DOS) of the cluster at the predicted configuration.
