A superatom is a cluster composed of a specific number of atoms. We recently found that the superatom-like X@Ga12 (X = Li~Kr) clusters has the periodic energy levels of the specific orbitals 2S and 2P by means of the DV-Xα molecular orbital calculation method. This periodicity in energy levels has not been seen in 1D or 1F orbitals. We supposed that the periodicity of the energy levels of the 2S and 2P superatomic-like orbitals come from the same symmetry between atomic orbitals as the central atom X and the surrounding specific orbitals, according to the Jellium model. Both the s and p atomic orbitals of the central atom X in the superatom-like X@Ga12 have a large shielding effect, suggesting that the s and p atomic orbitals interact strongly with both 2S and 2P superatomic-like orbitals. The energy level periodicity has the potential to periodically change the number of electrons located in the 1D and 1F orbitals, which is related to magnetic properties and is expected to be useful for novel magnetic devices by periodically controlling the magnetism of superatoms.
