Abstract

A DIM model using ab initio input for the diatomic interactions predicts a collinear bound Ar3+ molecule (in agreement with ab initio calculations) and stable clusters Arn+ consisting of an Ar3+ ion embedded in (n−3) neutral atoms. These results support existing theories that dynamical size selection may be more relevant in interpreting experimental results than the relative stabilities of clusters in their minimum energy configurations.
