Melting of sodium clusters: Where do the magic numbers come from?

Melting temperatures of Na clusters show size-dependent fluctuations that have resisted interpretation so far. Here we discuss that these temperatures, in fact, cannot be expected to exhibit an easily understandable behavior. The energy and entropy differences between the liquid and the solid cluste...
