Abstract:Photodissociation of jet-cooled, mass-selected [Formula: see text] clusters with 16≤n≤36 has been analyzed as a function of the dissociation laser fluence. From the dependence of the [Formula: see text] depletion, the number of absorbed photons and the absorption cross section have been determined. The dissociation energy is deduced from the internal energy before fragmentation. A decreasing stability is observed from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text]. Above [Formula: see text], two isomeric forms are… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
