Singly charged vanadium cluster ions from an external laser-vaporization source are accumulated in a Penning trap. They are subjected to electron bombardment which leads to further ionization. The charge states produced are analyzed by time-of-flight mass spectrometry after axial ejection from the t
The observation of what are believed to be small multiply charged clusters generated in a laser-produced plasma is reported and discussed, and a possible formation mechanism is proposed. Homonuclear gold cluster ions comprising three atoms and carrying charges of up to + 5, and of four atoms carryin
