Abstract

Methods for generating a neutral, mass-selected cluster beam are discussed. They involve charge exchange of mass-selected cluster ions, velocity selection of neutral clusters produced with the gas aggregation technique, and deflection of clusters in inhomogeneous electric fields. Experiments with the goal to test these methods have been started on Na n and S n clusters. First experimental evidence is given that mass-selected cluster ions can be neutralized by charge transfer in an alkali vapor.
