“…The authors of [33][34][35][36][37][38] used molecular and cluster beams to measure the temperature of large CO 2 [33][34][35][36] and CF 3 I [37] clusters (nanoparticles) in cluster beams and to investigate the selective processes of trapping SF 6 molecules by Xe N clusters [38]. In [39], we found that the trapping of highly vibrationally excited SF 6 molecules (with energy E vib ≥ 0.5-2.0 eV) by Ar N clusters leads to full disintegration of clusters N ≤ 30-40 in size and to the liberation of trapped mol ecules.…”

It is shown that, when highly vibrationally excited SF 6 molecules (with vibrational energy E vib ≥ 0.5-2 eV) collide with weakly bound van der Waals Ar N , Kr N , or (N 2 ) N (N ≤ 30-40 atoms in a cluster) clusters in intersecting molecular and cluster beams, the molecules are trapped by the clusters, the clusters then undergo full disintegration, and the trapped molecules become free. The method of studying this process and the results obtained are described. The possibilities of application of this method for selective doping of clus ters by molecules, laser separation of isotopes, and selective transportation of molecules to a surface are dis cussed.
