Ionization potentials of gold-sodium (Au,Na,) bimetallic clusters were measured by a tunable ultraviolet laser combined with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The ionization potentials of Au,Na,,, clusters generally decrease with the number of Na atoms, but discontinuities in the ionization potent

The ionization potentials of Li. clusters are obtained by photoionization. Shell effects are observed at n= 8 and n=20, as well as strong odd/even alternations. The results are compared with both the spherical shell model and ab initio calculations.
Threshold ionization potentials have been determined for a number of niobium cluster oxides, Nb,O,, n = 3-20, m= l-5. For most values of n, the ionization potential is only weakly dependent on the number of oxygen atoms. However, large changes with m occur for clusters with nine niobium atoms. We at
