The L =0 volume mode has also been studied. We have carried out quantal and semiclassical calculations for Na and Ag systems in the sphericaljellium approximation. We present a rather thorough discussion of surface diffuseness and quantal size effects on the resonance energies.}, publisher = {American Physical Society}, publisher = {Physical review.
