The graphite sample was ablated by Nd:YAG laser (532 nm and 1064 nm). The results indicate that the maximum size distribution shifted towards small cluster ions as the laser fluence increased, which happened because of the fragmentation of larger clusters in the hot plume. The temporal evolution of ions was measured by varying the delay time of the ion extraction pulse with respect to the laser irradiation, which was used to provide distribution information of the species in the ablated plasma plume. When the laser fluence decreased, the yield of all of the clusters obviously dropped.展开更多

The significant dependence of the product cluster ions on the molecular beam conditions was observed. When the plasma acted on the low density parts of the pulsed molecular beam, the metal-alcohol complexes M^+An (M=Cu, Al, Mg, Ni and A=C2H5OH, CH3OH) were the dominant products, and the sizes of product ion clusters were smaller. While the plasma acted on the high density part of the beam, however, the main products turned to be protonated alcohol clusters H^+An and, as the reactions of plasma with methanol were concerned, the protonated water-methanol complexes H3O^+(CH3OH)n with a larger size (n≤12 for ethanol and n≤24 for methanol). Similarly, as the pressure of the carrier helium gas was varied from 1 × 10^5 to 5 × 10^5 Pa, the main products were changed from M^+An to H^+An and the sizes of the clusters also increased. The changes in the product clusters were attributed to the different formation mechanism of the output ions, that is, the M^+An ions came from the reaction of metal ion with alcohol clusters, while H^+An mainly from collisional reaction of electron with alcohol clusters.展开更多
