Abstract
Metastable cluster ions produced by 8 keV atom sputtering of alkali halides have been measured. The dominant evaporative mechanism of the metastable ( MX) n M + cluster ions involves both monomer and dimer loss, and these processes have been examined using semi-empirical self-consistent-field molecular orbital methods to determine the geometry-optimized structures and decomposition energetics.
