Electronic Level Structure of Group Iii Heavy Element Clusters Studied by Photoelectron Spectroscopy
نویسنده
چکیده
UV-photoelectrons of mass-defined indium and thallium cluster anions have been analyzed at a detachment energy of 3.68eV in the size range n = 2-20. The photoelectron threshold energies are in rough agreement with the values predicted by the metal droplet model. A number of low-lying excited states of the neutral-clusters are detected. The high atomic s-orbital binding energies appear to induce alkali-like character of In; and Tl, .

متن کاملIndication of a size-dependent transition from molecular to dissociative chemisorption on clusters
We report experimental indications for a size-dependent change of the chemical nature of chemisorption on small atomic clusters. We studied chemisorption of atomic hydrogen on negatively charged Tin clusters using mass and photoelectron spectroscopy. Our experimental data support the assumption that for clusters with up to four Ti atoms, adsorption of intact H2 molecules is the energetically pr...
متن کاملPb(m)-Phenyl (m = 1-5) complexes: an anion photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional study.
The phenyl-lead metal complexes ([Pb(m)C6H5]-) produced from the reactions between benzene and lead clusters formed by laser ablation on a lead solid sample are studied by photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) and density functional theory (DFT). The adiabatic electron affinities (EAs) of [Pb(m)C6H5]- are obtained from PES at 308 nm, and the differences between the PES of [Pb(m)C6H5]- and the PES of...
متن کاملElectronic structure of small copper oxide clusters: From Cu2O to Cu2O4.
We study the electronic structure of copper oxide clusters, Cu2Ox ~x51–4!, using anion photoelectron spectroscopy and density-functional calculations. The experiment is used to successfully guide a computational search for the cluster geometries. The predicted electron affinities at the obtained cluster structures reproduce exactly the trend observed experimentally. The definitive determination...
متن کاملDirect experimental determination of atom–molecule–solid binding energy shifts for Sb and Bi
Binding energy shifts Bi–Bi2–Bi (solid) and Sb–Sb2–Sb4–Sb (solid) have been measured for the first time directly for Bi4f and Sb4d core levels by applying synchrotron radiation excited photoelectron spectroscopy. Atomic, molecular and solid state spectra are obtained by varying the temperature of evaporated metal vapours by means of a special multichamber oven and letting the vapour condensate ...
