Abstract
Direct laser vaporization of materials provides a simple method to form small ionic silicon clusters. These clusters may be kept in the ion trap of a Fourier transform mass spectrometer (FTMS) for up to several seconds. The capabilities of the FTMS are then used to determine bimolecular rate constants, identify reaction products, and evaluate product distributions of the ionic silicon clusters.
