Electric dipole polarizability of one excess-electron alkali–halide cluster

In this communication, we present the first measurement of the electric dipole polarizability of alkali–halide clusters with one excess electron. The polarizability is strongly size dependent. Very large values are observed for certain sizes. Ionization potential measurement is also presented for comparison.
