title: Polarizability of neutral copper clusters.
abstract: Neutral copper clusters are characterized through their molecular structures, binding energy and electric dipole polarizability. It is shown that the mean and anisotropy of polarizability tensor are useful properties in the characterization and rationalization of reactivity and growth patterns in copper clusters. We also found a relationship between softness per atom and cubic root polarizability per atom which can be useful to get global softness in copper clusters.
