Photoelectron Spectrometer and Cluster Source for the Production and Analysis of Cluster Assembled Nanoscale Materials

Abstract

The overall objective of our presently funded AFOSR program is to lay the scientific foundation for designing strategies to be employed for the formation of cluster assembled materials (CAMs) of nanoscale dimensions that possess selected properties. Studies thus far have yielded information on reactivity and are providing insight on methods of producing building blocks haveing the desired stoichiometry, size, and properties. Fundings from studies of relaxation dynamics are yielding insights into electronic characteristics which influence the properties of CAMs that may function as catalysts, or alternatively find application as new optical and electronic materials, or ones potentially useful as sensors.
