WnSm-Clusters: Possible Building Blocks for New Nano-Materials? — Wilko Westhäuser1, •Tobias Mangler1, Tim Fischer1, Sibylle Gemming2, Gotthard Seifert2, and Gerd Ganteför1 — 1University of Konstanz, Germany — 2University of Dresden, Germany
Since bulk WS2 forms layered structures similar to bulk graphite, this material might also built up stable cage-like fullerene structures. Large graphite-like structures (multiwall fullerenes, nanotubes) have been found in TEM experiments, but so far no anorganic fullerenes have been detected in the size regime of C60. Thus, we started a search for WS2 fullerenes by combining gas phase and deposition experiments. In the gas phase, we identified a variety of different structures (nanowires, nanoplatelets) in the size regime up to 30 metal atoms [1-3].
To investigate the suitability as building blocks, in a first attempt small size-selected WnSm-clusters were soft-landed on Ag- and Si-substrates at ultrahigh vacuum conditions. These samples were analysed via HREELS and XPS. The HREELS spectra are different for the different cluster sizes indicating that these clusters survived the soft-landing on the substrate and do not coalesce to bulk-like structures.
