Abstract

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 t...
