Description

The quantized electronic energy levels are studied in a 3D icosahedral billiard modelling a faceted metal cluster. The first 2000 levels are determined numerically. The magic numbers are compared with experimental data and with the result for a spherical model. The supershell structure is discussed and its study is proposed as a test of cluster sphericity. The relevance of diffractive effects in the semi-classical study of the model is pointed out. (authors). 26 refs., 5 figs., 2 tabs
