Description
The capture by polarization forces of low-energy electrons by closed-shell sodium clusters has been studied in the framework of the time-dependent local density approximation within the spherical jellium model and the classical scattering theory of Langevin. Results for Na20,Na40, and Na58 are compared with the predictions of the classical image charge model and recent experimental results by Kasperovich et al. [Phys. Rev. A 60, 3071 (1999)]
