Electric dipole polarizabilities of Nb{sub 2-27}.
The static electric dipole polarizabilities of Nb{sub 2}-Nb{sub 27} have been measured via a molecular beam deflection method. The clusters display per-atom polarizabilities that vary between 5.4{+-}0.3{angstrom}{sup 3} per atom (Nb{sub 10}) to 37.7{+-}0.3{angstrom}{sup 3} (Nb{sub 13}). The factor of -7 variation observed in the per-atom polarizabilities is the largest observed for any metal cluster system investigated thus far and implies large size-dependent variations in their electronic and/or geometric structures.
