Investigation of isotope effects in the formation of water clusters — •Rebecca Schaf, Johannes Viehmann, Andreas Hans, Arno Ehresmann, and André Knie — Institut für Physik und CINSaT, Universität Kassel, Heinrich-Plett-Staße 40, 34132 Kassel, Germany

The production and mass spectrometry of water clusters doped with various molecules is a method suited for the investigation of the behaviour of different molecules in the process of cluster formation. Here, we present an exploration of isotope effects in the generation of clusters. Isotope enrichment is observed in exemplary studies using normal and deuterated water. To quantify the enrichment we calculate isotope distributions and simulate the experimental mass spectroscopy data. Our method is also applicable to cluster of other species, as is exemplarily demonstrated for van der Waals bound neon clusters.
