The static electric dipole polarizabilities of rhodium clusters Rhn, n=5-28, have been measured via a molecular beam deflection method. Uniform high-field beam deflections, indicative of induced polarization, were observed for all Rhn except Rh7 and Rh10 which by contrast exhibited beam broadening and anomalously high effective polarizabilities. Analysis of the beam deflection profile of Rh7 indicates that it possesses a permanent dipole moment of 0.24+/-0.02 D. Unlike the other clusters in the n=5-28 size range, the polarizability of Rh10 is observed to decrease with increasing source temperature. We attribute this temperature dependence to paraelectric behavior, suggesting that Rh10 is a fluxional molecule possessing a dipole moment that spatially fluctuates, uncorrelated with overall rotation.
