Abstract Small clusters made up of three kinds of neutral alkali atoms, i.e. clusters of the form X ℓ Y m Z n , are theoretically studied. These clusters exhibit three series of magic numbers, one for each kind of atoms. That is,ℓ,m, andn independently can be magic numbers rather than their cumulative numberℓ+m+n or, in other words, magic numbers in alkali clusters composed of neutral atoms are due to atoms rather than to delocalized electrons as in jellium model. Of course, if conditions favor delocalization of electrons,ℓ+m+n can be magic but then we have no neutral atoms which are prerequisite for an application of the present model.
