✦ Synopsis

Tunneling transmission coefficients through rotationa barriers are investigated as a function of argon cluster ion size using the WKB approximation.

The results indicate that tunneling coefficients corresponding to transmissions of a few percent, extend over time windows of ten orders of magnitude. Hence, a very broad distribution of metastable lifetimes is expected for decay of cluster ions by tunneling through rotational barriers.

The performance of a new pulsed arc cluster ion source (PACIS) is demonstrated for pure metal cluster ions and anions as well as mixed metal-rare-gas clusters. Pure metal clusters like W$ exhibit intensity distributions similar to those from laser vaporization sources. The ion current of the PACIS i

A linear correlation plot is presented for the first ionization energy of the rare-gas n-mers, which extrapolates to a similar correlation for the photoemission threshold of the solid rare gases. Also a simple correlation is described for the heteronuclear rare-gas dimers, the correlation parameter
