Abstract
We use the Wigner random-matrix model and describe the transformation of the electron density spectrum of warm metallic clusters. We calculate the effect of temperature on the magic numbers, the cluster stability, and the kinetics of evaporation. Comparison of the calculated dependencies with the experimental ones shows good agreement.Keywords
