Abstract :we re-analysized the inelastic cross sections of low energy electrons colliding with metallic clusters. The analysis indicates that polarizability may take two forms in the low electron energy region. The low-energy region follows the static polarizability expression of Langevin. At higher energies, however, dynamical form comes into play. The full explanation of the obtained inelastic cross section seems to require both form of polarizability to be taken into account.Keywords : Metallic cluster, Polarizability
