Monolayer-protected noble metal clusters, also called nanoclusters, can be produced with
the atomic precision and in large-scale quantity and are playing an increasingly important …

Magnetic spin and orbital moments of size-selected free iron cluster ions Fe n+(n= 3–20)
have been determined via x-ray magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy. Iron atoms within …

Optical spectroscopy has contributed enormously to our knowledge of the structure and
dynamics of atoms and molecules and is now emerging as a cornerstone of the gas phase …

An experiment was designed to perform x-ray and VUV spectroscopy on size-selected
clusters in the gas phase. Using a radio frequency ion trap and a quadrupole mass filter …

Studying the photophysical properties of molecules in the gasphase can be advantageous,
because it reduces the complexity of the system examined by eliminating effects due to …

Electron detachment thresholds of metal cluster anions, MN–, are a few electron volts. The
excess electron is therefore detached by visible or ultraviolet light, which also creates low …

The enhancement of a cryogenic radio frequency 22 pole trap instrument by the addition of
ring electrodes is presented in detail. The ring electrodes tightly surround the poles and only …

The magnetic moment of a single impurity atom in a finite free electron gas is studied in a
combined x-ray magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy, charge transfer multiplet …

Reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer (RTOF-MS) is a powerful tool to achieve high
resolution in mass analysis of various ions. As it is often supposed that analyte ions are …

The electronic structure and magnetic moments of free Mn 2+ and Mn 3+ are characterized
by 2p x-ray absorption and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy in a cryogenic …
