Photofragmentation of small bismuth clusters — •Paul Fischer, Gerrit Marx, and Lutz Schweikhard — Institut für Physik, Universität Greifswald, 17489 Greifswald, Germany
Bismuth clusters Bin+/− in the size range n=2 to 19 have been produced by laser ablation and stored in an electrostatic ion beam trap (EIBT) [1,2]. The trap allows the retention of size-selected ions and their separation from contaminant ions with high resolving powers [3].
Photofragmentation has been performed by use of nanosecond laser pulses (λ = 532 nm). Product patterns include multiple cluster sizes, depending on the selected precursor. To further investigate the fragmentation pathways of the clusters, parameters such as the laser-pulse energy and timing have been varied. In many cases, the preliminary data evaluation suggests pathway competition and only a few sequential decays. The size of the primary neutral fragment being evaporated shifts with increasing precursor cluster size.
