Abstract The self-consistent vibrating potential model (VPM) is extended for the description ofEλ surface collective excitations in alkali metal clusters with practically any kind of static deformation. The case of spherical clusters is also covered. Any single-particle potentials and valence electron densities for which the coefficients of the multipole expansion are known can be used within the model. The strength function method incorporated into the model allows one to avoid solving the equations for every state and, as a result, simplifies the calculations drastically. The model is of a quite general character and can also be used for description of giant resonances in atomic nuclei if the Coulomb terms are neglected. The VPM is applied to calculate theE1,E2 andE3 excitations in spherical (Na8, Na20 and Na40) and deformed (Na10, Na18 and Na26) clusters.
