The static electric dipole polarizabilities of have been measured via a molecular beam deflection method. The clusters display per-atom polarizabilities that vary between per atom to The factor of variation observed in the per-atom polarizabilities is the largest observed for any metal cluster system investigated thus far and implies large size-dependent variations in their electronic and/or geometric structures.
