Ionization potentials of metal clusters studied with a broad range, tunable vacuum ultraviolet light source.
Beschreibung
In this work, we present an alternative to complex laser setups or synchrotron light sources to accurately measure the ionization potentials of metal clusters. The setup is based on a commercial Xe flash lamp, combined with a vacuum monochromator, and has been applied to determine the ionization potentials of Snn clusters with n = 8–12 atoms. The uncertainty in the determination of the ionization potentials is mainly caused by the bandwidth of the monochromator. The adiabatic ionization potentials (AIPs) are extracted from experimental photoionization efficiency curves. Franck–Condon simulations are additionally used to interpret the shape and onset of the photo-ion yield. The obtained AIPs are (all energies are in eV) Sn8 (6.53 ± 0.05), Sn9 (6.69 ± 0.04), Sn10 (6.93 ± 0.03), Sn11 (6.34 ± 0.05), and Sn12 (IsoI 6.64 ± 0.04 and IsoIII 6.36 ± 0.05). Furthermore, the impact of multiple isomers present in the experiment on the photo-ion yield is addressed and compared with other experimental data in the literature.
