Si22~Si100 all have IPs between 4.99 and 6.42 eV. Si6_u+ are found to be dominant photofragments from the larger silicon clusters. The overall silicon cluster distribution produced from this source is nearly independent of cluster size, showing only minor intensity alterations and the expected decrease to larger sizes. From this we conclude that the previous interpretation5 of the high-intensity PMS at 6.42 eV is likely incorrect because ion photochemistry was not taken into consideration.
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.
