Cluster Beam Synthesis of Nanostructured Materials

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Cluster Physics ((CLUSTER))

  • 211 Accesses

Abstract

The availability of efficient atomization methods is the prerequisite for the realization of an intense cluster source. Another requirement is the control of the parameters of gas aggregation determining the growth rate, and hence the mass distribution of the particles. Once formed, the clusters must be extracted from the source with their original physico-chemical characteristics unperturbed.
