(b) The original predictions pertaining to formation of cds and analogies to cluster phenomena (e.g. magic numbers) have been presented by one of us (U.L.) at ISSPIC8 (Copenhagen, July 1996, see ref 25a), and at the NATO ARW on Nanowires (Madrid, September 1996); see Proceeding paper: Landman, U.; Luedtke, W. D.; Barnett, R. N. In Nanowires; Serena, P. A., Garcia, N., Eds.; Kluwer: Dordrecht, 1997. Subsequently and after completion of the work in this Letter, we learned about research related to some of these issues being pursued by van Ruitenbeek, J. M., et al.; Stafford, C. A., et al.; and Shekhter, R. I., et al.
