During the last decade it has been shown by several groups that clusters with sizes of up to about 30-40 atoms reveal distinct chemical properties which change as function of the precise number of atoms[1,2]. In these experiments the model catalysts were prepared by the deposition of size-selected clusters from the gas phase at low temperatures. Whereas there is strong indication that the clusters remain intact upon deposition, little is known about the dynamics (stability, diffusion, agglomeration) of the clusters at elevated temperatures and under reaction conditions. In order to study the stability of size-selected clusters on oxide surfaces and thin oxide films we built a cluster deposition experiment with size-selection which is coupled to an OMICRON variable temperature scanning probe microscope. In this contribution we present the technical details and specifications of the new experimental setup and show first AFM- and STM-images of cluster assembled materials.
