Abstract A method which combines density functional theory and the use of pseudopotentials is applied to obtain ground state and low-lying metastable geometries of Na n clusters (7≤n≤40). The large variation in the magnitude of energy gaps between isomers suggests that the melting temperature is not a simple monotonous function of size. A detailed study of the differences between electronically stabilized (n=8, 20, 40) and structurally stabilized (n=13) clusters suggests some clues to understand the intriguing behaviour of Na13.
