Description

The elementary excitations of 4He clusters containing N atoms are investigated by solving the equations of the random phase approximation (RPA) with a phenomenological effective interaction. The calculations were done for 40≤N≤728. The effects of the RPA correlations are explicitly discussed. Important deviations from the predictions of the liquid droplet model (LDM) are found up to N≅500 for the breathing compression mode and up to N≅100 for surface excitations. Sum rules for compression and surface excitations are also derived and discussed
