19 Electrons Trapped In A Spherical Electric Field


19 electrons trapped in a spherical electric field.

19 electrons trapped in a spherical electric field. They form shells like atoms in the periodic table (notice the symmetry), and they may "freeze," i.e. crystallize like in this figure. Phys. Rev. Focus (2001).
