Abstract The ground-state structure and shape parameters of neutral and singly charged simple metal clusters with up to 40 valence electrons have been calculated within the cylindrically averaged pesudopotential scheme (CAPS). Na and Ba have been chosen as typical monovalent and divalent metals. The obtained structures agree very well with the results of more elaborate methods. A simple growth pattern for the most stable ionic geometries is deduced. The ionic and electronic multipole moments from CAPS are very similar to those of the structure averaged jellium model (SAJM) and of the plasma model. The surface energies derived from the CAPS results agree with experimental values.
