Abstract
Electron impact ionization of gas phase silver clusters Ag n ,n≦36 has been achieved in the threshold region. The vertical ionization potentials in this region clearly demonstrate the evidence of shell effects as well as a distinct even-odd oscillation up ton≃20. Their general size dependence is somewhat different from that of the alkali metal clusters due to the presence of thed-electrons.
