Measurements of lithium cluster ionization potentials

The ionization potentials of Li n clusters are obtained by photoionization. Shell effects are observed at n = 8 and n = 20, as well as strong odd/even alternations. The results are compared with both the spherical shell model and ab initio calculations.
