Size-selected silver clusters on Ag(111) were fabricated by single-atom manipulation using the tip of a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope. Unoccupied electron resonances give rise to spectral features which shift towards the Fermi level with increasing cluster size. Linear assemblies exhibit higher resonance energies than equally sized compact assemblies. Density functional theory calculations reproduce the observed energies for the linear clusters and enable an assignment of the resonances to hybridized atomic 5s and 5p orbitals with silber substrate states.
