- Core-level binding energy shifts between the free atom and corresponding large clusters, the latter closely approximating the infinite solid, have been experimentally derived for several elemental metals. The cluster core-level binding energies in question have been determined relative to the vacuum level using synchrotron-based photoelectron spectroscopy. As expected, the experimental shift values show reasonable agreement with those calculated using the thermochemical Born–Haber cycle approach. The largest uncertainty factors defining the discrepancies between the experiment and the model, such as the difference in the multiplet structure of free atoms and the solid, the in some cases indirectly established cluster work functions, and the metal solvation energy, are discussed.

- Silver clusters in the size range of ∼102 constituent atoms have been studied using photoelectron spec-troscopy. The 5s and 4d valence bands have been probed with 40 and 60.5 eV photon energies. Differences in the valence band spectral features have been observed and are discussed in view of earlier results on copper clusters and in terms of differences in mean free path for electrons of different energies.

Plasmon single- and multi-quantum excitation in free metal clusters as seen by photoelectron spectroscopy
- 2011

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Plasmons are investigated in free nanoscale Na, Mg, and K metal clusters using synchrotron radiation-based x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The core levels for which the response from bulk and surface atoms can be resolved are probed over an extended binding energy range to include the plasmon loss features. In all species the features due to fundamental plasmons are identified, and in Na and K also those due to either the first order plasmon overtones or sequential plasmon excitation are observed. These features are discussed in view of earlier results for planar macroscopic samples and free clusters of the same materials.

The electronic structure of free aluminum clusters: Metallicity and plasmons

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The electronic structure of free aluminum clusters with similar to 3-4 nm radius has been investigated using synchrotron radiation-based photoelectron and Auger electron spectroscopy. A beam of free clusters has been produced using a gas-aggregation source. The 2p core level and the valence band have been probed. Photoelectron energy-loss features corresponding to both bulk and surface plasmon excitation following photoionization of the 2p level have been observed, and the excitation energies have been derived. In contrast to some expectations, the loss features have been detected at energies very close to those of the macroscopic solid. The results are discussed from the point of view of metallic properties in nanoparticles with a finite number of constituent atoms. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.

Picturing molecular femtosecond processes through an ultra-fast controllable X-ray shutter
- 2003

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We show that frequency detuning in a resonant X-ray scattering experiment acts as an X-ray camera shutter by regulating the duration time of the scattering process. The camera shutter can be used to select processes at different time scales for observation. This is illustrated by a resonant Auger study of the ultra-fast dissociation of the core-excited HF molecule. We present experimental results and first principle simulations of the molecular fraction in the resonant Auger spectra of HF which is a dynamical parameter that well illustrates X-ray shutter controlled dissociation.

First observation of vibrations in core-level photoelectron spectra of free neutral molecular clusters

- Core-level photoelectron spectra of free neutral methane clusters have been recorded. These spectra exhibit well-resolved surface and bulk features as well as vibrational fine structure. The vibrational structure in the cluster signal is well reproduced by a theoretical model that assumes independent contributions from inter- and intramolecular modes. The intramolecular contribution to the vibrational line-shape is taken to be equal to that of the monomer in the gas phase, while the intermolecular part is simplified to line broadening. An estimate of the cluster size has been made on the basis of the observed surface-to-bulk intensity ratio.
