We predict the existence of low-energy spin modes of surface type, which are identified from the strength function. Their collectivity and evolution with size are discussed.4 p.application/pdfeng(c) The American Physical Society, 1993Teoria molecularFisicoquímicaMolecular theoryPhysical chemistryinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article76010info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
