Abstract

We have measured energy losses of 0.8-MeV/atom B n ( n ≤ 4) clusters transmitted through thin carbon foils (2–17 μg/cm 2). The ratio of observed energy loss per atom of B n clusters to the energy loss of isolated B ions is larger than unity at thinner foils and approaching unity with increasing foil thickness, which indicates the vicinage effect in the cluster–solid interaction.
