Nanocrystals on Inert Substrates
Abstract
The interaction of clusters with surfaces is under investigation with regard to the following: deposition of neutral or charged clusters beams as a method for growth of highest quality thin films; deposition of size-selected cluster beams for creating novel cluster-assembled materials; consequences of energetic collision of large clusters with solid surfaces; and use of collision phenomenology for determining cluster structure and energetics. Our approach consists of two parallel efforts; (1) We use size-selected, energy-resolved charged cluster beams in collisions with crystalline surfaces for measurements of the mass-, angle- and energy-distributions of scattered clusters and fragments. (2) We characterize the states of clusters deposited under well- defined conditions by surface-analysis methods.
