    "abstract": "We have used the stabilized spin-polarized jellium model to calculate the\nequilibrium sizes of metal clusters. Our self-consistent calculations in the\nlocal spin-density approximation show that for an $N$-electron cluster, the\nequilibrium is achieved for a configuration in which the difference in the\nnumbers of up-spin and down-spin electrons is zero or unity, depending on the\ntotal number of electrons. That is, a configuration in which the spins are\nmaximally compensated. This maximum spin-compensation results in both the\nalternation in the average distance between the nearest neighbor ions and the\nodd-even alternations in the ionization energies of alkali metal clusters, in a\ngood agreement with the molecular dynamics findings and the experiment. These\nsuggest a realistic and more accurate method for calculating the properties of\nmetal clusters in the context of jellium model than previous jellium model\nmethods.",
