摘要
We present calculations on electric transport properties of small sodium clusters Na-N (N less than or equal to 9), based on the Landauer formalism combined with an approximate density-functional approach. For a given cluster size N, the resistance depends sensitively on the cluster geometry (isomers). As a function of cluster size, an even-odd oscillation of the minimal resistance is found.
