  • Abstract
    Understanding the development of metallic behavior with increasing cluster size has been one of the important questions in cluster science. Based on Kuboʹs criterion and optimized structures with ab initio calculations, the nonmetal to metal transition in Ba clusters is studied. It has been found that the critical size for this transition is around 32, in agreement with the mass spectra experiment.
