description

The combination of ion storage in a Penning trap and photoexcitation by pulsed lasers has proven to be a versatile instrument in metal cluster research. Recent experiments which make use of both components allow a detailed study of the clusters' properties. In particular, a new method to measure dissociation energies is reviewed and preliminary results on the competition between electron emission and neutral monomer evaporation from dianionic metal clusters are presented.
