The fluorescence of Ag8 in an argon matrix and in argon droplets is reported. This is the first unambiguous assignment of the fluorescence of a metal cluster larger than the tetramer, indicating that the excited state lifetime is longer than previously tho ...
Light emission during the collision of ions and cluster ions on a metal surface covered by rare gas matrices of variable thickness is reported. The light intensity as a function of distance from the metal surface follows the classical image dipole theory. ...
Low energy collisions of atomic ions and cluster ions with rare gas covered metal substrates can lead to strong light emission which is element and size specific. Instead of a direct energy transfer into the electronic system of the cluster the observed em ...
The absorption and fluorescence spectra of silver trimers isolated in an Ar matrix show the existence of three distinct lattice sites whereby the population of each site depends on the conditions of matrix preparation. Irradiation of certain absorption ban ...
Clusters of metal atoms at a fixed size can assume different structural arrangements, known as isomers, which may have nearly the same energy. Therefore at given experimental conditions distribution of these isomers can be present. While the size selection ...
We report the fluorescence and excitation spectra of size selected Ag4 deposited in an argon matrix. The main fluorescence peak for Ag4 is observed at 458 nm. The excitation spectrum for this emission is in good agreement with recent theoretical calculatio ...
