Abstract
Photoelectron spectra of [Formula: see text] cluster anions (3≤n, m≤6) were measured at the photon energy of 3.49 eV, by using a magnetic-bottle electron spectrometer having ~60-meV resolution. The [Formula: see text] clusters were produced by laser vaporization of a carbon–silicon mixture rod in a He carrier gas. The spectra of the [Formula: see text] clusters are similar to those of pure [Formula: see text] clusters in the peak positions and their envelopes, which is attributed to the similarity in electronic structure of Si and C atoms, leading to a similar geometry. In contrast, the similarity in the photoelectron spectra is not observed between [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] clusters, which is attributed to a change in their geometry; from chain to ring.
