Description
Atomic clusters are known to exhibit magic numbers analogous to but different from the magic numbers of atomic nuclei. In addition, atomic clusters offer the opportunity for observing supershells, which in nuclei cannot be seen because of the small number of particles present. It is shown that magic numbers and supershells in alkali clusters can be described well in terms of the 3-dimensional q-deformed harmonic oscillator, characterized by the uq(3) including soq(3) quantum algebraic symmetry
