我们介绍了一种新型的团簇束源，该源基于凝聚（稀有气体）矩阵中（金属）团簇的组装。“矩阵组装团簇源”采用离子束来增强矩阵中金属原子之间的碰撞，并溅射出团簇以形成束。我们展示了金和银纳米团簇的形成和沉积，其平均尺寸从几个原子到几千个原子可调。簇通量相当于当前的纳米级制度，但可能可扩展到毫安，这将开辟许多有趣的实验和应用。(C)2016年作者。
We introduce a new type of cluster beam source based on the assembly of (metal) clusters within a condensed (rare gas) matrix. The "Matrix Assembly Cluster Source" employs an ion beam to enhance collisions between metal atoms in the matrix and to sputter out clusters to form a beam. We demonstrate the formation and deposition of gold and silver nanoclusters with mean size tunable from a few atoms to a few thousand atoms. The cluster flux is equivalent to a current nanoAmp regime but potentially scalable to milliAmps, which would open up a number of interesting experiments and applications. (C) 2016 Author(s).
