Mass-separated beams of clusters with a single, well-defined number of atoms or molecules are indispensable for studies of cluster properties. This paper presents a technique with the potential to generate such a beam which contains neutral clusters of one size only. For this purpose mass-selected cluster ions have been neutralized by charge transfer reactions in metal and sulphur vapors. Relative charge exchange cross sections were measured for different cluster sizes. They reveal pronounced variations of the electronic structure of these particles. Thus, the study of charge transfer processes is introduced as a method to probe the positions of electronic energy levels in neutral clusters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
