Abstract
Focus of the research program is the study of gas phase metal clusters for modeling fundamental interactions on metal surfaces. We characterize the chemical bonding between component atoms in clusters as well as the bonding in adsorption on cluster surfaces. Electronic spectra, vibrational frequencies and bond dissociation energies are measured for both neutral and ionized clusters with laser/mass spectrometry techniques. Small bimetallic cluster cations containing Bi/Cr, Bi/Fe, Sn/Bi, and Pb/Sb were photodissociated at various uv wavelengths. Silver dimer van der Waals complexes were produced with a series of rare gas atoms (Ar, Kr, Xe), and their vibrational frequencies and dissociation energies were obtained. (DLC)
