    Notes: Abstract Laser induced nonlinear absorption profiles in a three-level system have been recorded to study the effect of elastic collisions upon optical coherences. In our particular system, the signal is due to a pure double-quantum term, where we have separated the effect of phase-interrupting collisions from the effect of velocity-changing collisions. Experimental results show that the effect of velocity-changing collisions is very small, and that broadening of the signal is due to phase-interrupting collisions mainly. We are able to determine the increase of the decay rate of the coherent superposition (the “coherence”) of two levels of same parity [Dγ 13/dp=(6.5±1) MHz/Torr] and an upper limit for the mean velocity change (ũ≲5m/s).

    Notes: We investigate the unimolecular dissociation dynamics of energy-rich sodium cluster ions, Na+n (5≤n≤40) by measuring the time evolution of their sequential monomer or dimer evaporative cooling. The experimental technique, tandem time-of-flight mass spectroscopy, measures the relative rate of competing dissociation channels from metastable ion clusters selected during an initial sampling time interval immediately following the creation of the ion cluster ensemble. Pulsed laser UV photoionization converts the distribution of neutral clusters emerging from a free-jet expansion to the distribution of ion clusters from which the initial selection takes place. For the smaller clusters, 3≤n≤14, we compare the measured dissociation rates with those calculated from a modified version of the RRK theory of unimolecular dissociation. In applying the theory we use monomer and dimer binding energies determined from theoretical calculation. For larger clusters, 15≤n≤40, the binding energies are not known, and we invert the calculation, using measured dissociation fractions, to determine the binding energies of the cluster ions.

    Photodissociation of size-selected K+n clusters (1988)

    Notes: Photofragmentation studies are described for size-selected ionized potassium-atom clusters, generated in a supersonic expansion and analyzed with a tandem time-of-flight system. In the range n=3 to 41 the relative ion intensities in photofragmentation spectra reflect the relative stabilities of the ion products. Moreover the photon-energy dependence of the fragmentation patterns suggests that photodissociation proceeds rather via a fast sequential evaporation of neutral monomers than via a fission process. A value can be deduced for the mean binding energy per atom which is increasing with the cluster size.

    Adiabatic decomposition of mass-selected alkali clusters (1987)

    Notes: The decomposition of metastable photoionized mass-selected alkali clusters is investigated using a tandem time-of-flight spectrometer. Na+n and K+n are found to decompose mainly by the evaporation of either a single neutral atom or a neutral dimer in a time scale of about 10 μs. The predominant fragmentation channels are found to follow the adiabatic dissociation channels associated with the lowest energies accordingly to our CI calculations. In the light of our experimental and theoretical results a comparison between the different calculations of the absolute atomization energies available in the literature is presented.

    Photoionization of potassium clusters: Neutral and ionic cluster stabilities (1987)

    Notes: Neutral potassium clusters of two different mass distributions generated either by a sonic or a conical nozzle were photoionized at several ionizing energies. By combining different nucleation conditions with several photoionization situations, variations of ion mass spectral patterns reflecting either neutral or ionic stabilities were obtained. The spectra show peaks or steps for those neutral and ionized clusters which contain 8, 20, and 40 electrons. These can be understood in terms of electronic shell structure for both neutral and ionized potassium clusters. However local irregularities appearing for the small cluster sizes reveal the influence of their geometrical structure. Moreover ionizing laser power dependencies taken at various photon energies were used to study fragmentation effects following ionization.

    Cohesive energies of K+n 5〈n〈200 from photoevaporation experiments (1990)

    Notes: Evaporative cooling of internal energy rich potassium cluster ions K+n (5〈n〈200) is investigated within two well defined but quite different time windows. One of the time windows starts 1 μs after the photoexcitation of the cluster ions isolates one step in the evaporative cooling cascade. The experimental technique insures the complete determination of the dissociation channels. Tandem time-of-flight mass spectroscopy measures the relative rate of competing dissociation channels from ion fragmentation patterns. The corresponding neutral fragments are unambiguously determined after the reionization. Values for the dissociation energies of K+n (up to n=25) have been deduced from the unimolecular dissociation rates using statistical methods. These values are compared to Hückel calculations. The second time window starting just after the reexcitation of mass selected K+n is used to follow the steps of the photoinduced sequential evaporation from "hot'' clusters. The photofragmentation patterns for several photon energies give the atomization energies of ionized clusters up to n=200. Their evolution vs 1/R is compared to the droplet model.

    Adiabatic unimolecular dissociation of heterogeneous alkali clusters (1988)

    Notes: The unimolecular dissociation of metastable photoionized mass-selected heterogeneous alkali clusters is investigated using a tandem time-of-flight spectrometer. NaK+n and Nan K+ are found to dissociate by evaporation of either a single neutral atom or a neutral dimer of the most abundant constituant. This behavior differs from the evaporation of heterogeneous neutral clusters which might always evaporate potassium in order to explain the sodium enrichment in the NaxKy neutral cluster distributions. This difference in the dissociation patterns of neutral and ionic heterogeneous clusters puts into evidence the influence of the charge in unimolecular dissociation processes.

    Photothermodissociation of selenium clusters (2000)

    Notes: The dissociation of selenium cluster ions containing from 7 up to 30 atoms has been studied using unimolecular decay of photothermoexcited clusters. Clusters containing more than 14 atoms evaporate Se6, Se7, and Se8 species, whereas smaller clusters with 7–10 atoms dissociate manly by Se2 loss. When the size increases, Se6 becomes the predominant channel showing a dissociation which evolves toward the bulk behavior. The changes in the observed channels correlate to changes in the dissociation energies which are deduced from the measured fractional dissociation rates and from the entropy contribution. Together with the previous study of tellurium clusters, this work provides comparative behavior of dissociation energies of group VI clusters and their convergence toward bulk properties. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Coulombic fission and evaporation of antimony cluster ions (1995)

    Notes: The preferential dissociation channels of singly and doubly charged antimony clusters have been determined from the unimolecular dissociation of energy rich cluster ions, using an ion stopping technique. It is found that singly charged Sb+n clusters with 5≤n≤80 dissociate by loss of neutral molecules. Neutral dimer loss is observed for n=5, 6, 7 whereas for n≥8, Sb+n loses Sb4. The fragmentation of doubly charged Sb++n has been investigated above the critical size n++c=24 from which doubly charged clusters are detectable in mass spectra. On the time scale of the experiment, which is 1 μs≤t≤100 μs with respect to photoionization, the delayed Coulombic fission into two singly charged clusters competes with the evaporation of Sb4. It is shown that for the smaller Sb++n clusters with 26≤n≤36 the fission to two singly charged clusters is of relatively asymmetrical character, leading to the detachment of five and seven atom cationic fragments. In larger clusters n≥40 the fission is of more symmetrical character and the difference in the fission products is less than 30%. Such a behavior totally deviates from the drop model predictions. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The dissociation of tellurium cluster ions containing up to 40 atoms has been studied using unimolecular decay of thermoexcited clusters. Clusters with less than 10 atoms dissociate mainly by Te2 loss. Larger clusters fragment by loss of Te5, Te6, or Te7 species. As the cluster size increases, Te5 loss becomes the predominent channel, showing a dissociation which smoothly evolves to the bulk behavior. The dissociation energies of mass selected Te+n, with n=5–35, are deduced from the relative branching ratios of the competitive fragmentation channels. The changes in the observed neutral products are correlated to changes in the dissociation energies which are minima for cluster ion parents containing 13–25 atoms. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
