On the History of Cluster Beams

  • Conference paper
Metal Clusters

Abstract

The methods to produce and investigate cluster beams have been developed primarily with the use of permanent gases. A summary is given of related work carried out at Marburg and Karlsruhe. The report deals with the effect of carrier gases on cluster beam production; ionization, electrical acceleration and magnetic deflection of cluster beams; the retarding potential mass spectrometry of cluster beams; cluster size measurement by atomic beam attenuation; reflection of cluster beams at solid surfaces; scattering properties of 4He and 3He clusters; the application of cluster beams in plasma physics, and the reduction of space charge problems by acceleration of cluster ions.
