A new magnetron based gas aggregation source of metal nanoclusters coupled to a double time-of-flight mass spectrometer system

Tahzeeb Momin and Ashok Bhowmick A new magnetron based gas-aggregation source for continuous production of metal nanoclusters has been built and coupled to a double time-of-flight mass spectrometer system. The capability of the source to produce neutral, positive, and negative nanoclusters within one production cycle, particularly ... [Rev. Sci. Instrum. 81, 075110 (2010)] published Wed Jul 28, 2010.
