    Metal Clusters: How Many Atoms are Required for Thermionic Emission ?

    We observe thermionic emission from free refractory metal clusters Wn, n ≥ 5 and Tan, n ≥ 4, following excitation by a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser at its 2nd, 3rd and 4th harmonic. The ion yield from this process, wh...

    Thermionic Emission of Free Tantalum Clusters

    In this paper we report on the thermionic emission of electrons from hot metal clusters. Tantalum clusters were exposed to a 10 ns laser pulse, and the delayed emission of electrons from the clusters was recor...
