Abstract

Different experimental approaches for the production of negatively charged van der Waals clusters are reviewed, with emphasis on crossing beam techniques. Laser excited Rydberg atoms constitute a source of electrons with tunable well-defined energy in the thermal range (5-300 meV). Different mechanisms occuring in the cluster anions are considered: creation, dissociation, electron autodetachment, evaporation, internal energy exchanges and solvation effects in homogenous and inhomogenous molecular clusters.
