Probing the Electronic Structure of Metal Clusters

Lead Institution
Brown University
Principal Investigator
Lai-Sheng Wang
Project type
Exploratory Research
Photoelectron spectroscopy is used to probe the electronic structure of size-selected atomic clusters produced using laser vaporization. In this proposal, we will focus on our studies on small boron…
