Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Compound Clusters

Abstract

Metal-compound microclusters are produced in the gas phase with laser vaporization in a pulsed nozzle cluster source. The clusters which grow are measured with mass spectrometry and their energetics are measured with photoionization and laser photodissociation. The abundant species found and/or the inert species found are evaluated as prospects for the synthesis of macroscopic cluster assembled materials.
