Description

Spherical metallic clusters with small size surface irregularities are studied. A billiard model is used and a semi-classical trace formula averaged over surface disorder is derived. Oscillations in the shell energy are suppressed with an overall damping, the same for all cluster sizes. The effects of roughness and temperature on the supershell structure are compared, and a possible influence on the plasmon width is discussed. (author). 35 refs., 4 figs
