The electronic structure forms the basis for understanding the physical and chemical properties of clusters. A promising method to study this issue is core-level photoelectron spectroscopy using the VUV free electron laser FLASH at DESY providing wavelengths down to 4.8 nm. Results on lead clusters feature size-dependent 5d and 4f core-level shifts and reveal a remarkable change of final state screening conditions due to a metal to nonmetal transition at cluster sizes about 20 atoms [Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 138303 (2009)]. In recent experiments a hemispherical electron spectrometer has been utilized. It became possible to allocate electron signals to each micro pulse of FLASH with a time-resolved delay-line-detector. A sequence of cluster sizes can be probed by this approach. By study of 4f core-level of lead clusters the change of the gaussian line shape to a Doniach-Sunjic profile has been observed as function of size. The evolution of the line profiles can be understood as scattering processes in finite systems.
