✦ Synopsis
Clusters of Ne. atoms (up to n = 90) formed in a supersonic nozzle expansion have been studied by electron impact ionization mass spectrometery. The Ne cluster mass spectra show the special stability of cluster ions with icosahedral structure (n = 13 and 55) confirming -despite previous discrepancies -the general validity of the sphere-packing principle. Neon cluster ions exhibit other magic numbers, e.g. at n = 2 1 and 75, not common to all of the other rare gases.
