Abstract

A new variation of the laser vaporization/pulsed nozzle metal cluster source is described for the production of mixed-metal clusters. This source incorporates UV laser photolysis of a gas-phase metal-containing complex with the same laser used for and in the same region of solid metal vaporization. This method is generally useful for the production of mixed-metal, metal-semimetal, and metal-semiconductor clusters and may be especially useful for cluster studies in which alloys of desired components are not readily available. Data are presented for clusters of Bi/Cr and Mn/Ag produced by this method.
