Metal-insulator transitions in microclusters? Mixed sodium/sodium chloride aggregates

  • Stability And Fragmentation
  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik D Atoms, Molecules and Clusters

Abstract

Photoionization measurements on cluster beams obtained by coexpanding sodium and sodium chloride vapors allow inferences regarding the thermodynamic stability of a number of mixed metal/salt aggregates. We discuss the possibility of observing composition dependent metal/insulator transitions among clusters with a fixed number of monomer units.
