33. 2 = Nfacet S, where S is the area of each surface triangle. All triangles are assumed to be equilateral with lateral length of 2.87 Å, the typical Au-Au distance in cluster. In this work, considering the deviation of the atomic shells from spherical profile, the value of g is taken as 2.98.
34. Au59 has an odd number of valence electrons, so the highest level is singly occupied. For Au 59-, the extra electron will also occupy the same level and will hardly change the gap between the first level and the next one.
