Abstract

Mass spectra are reported for large sodium clusters warmed by a continuous laser beam prior to ionization. During the lms warming period the clusters lose more than 10% of their mass by single atom evaporation. The resulting size distribution reveals what appears to be electronic supershell structure for clusters containing up to 2500 atoms.
