Abstract
Collision of Ar cluster ions, Ar + n (n=3−16), with He and Ne atoms was investigated by use of mass spectroscopic techniques. The cross sections for the production of Ar + n′ (n′<n) were measured as functions of the size of the parent cluster ion and the collision energy (0.1–10 eV in the center-of-mass frame). These results were analyzed in the scheme of hard-sphere spectator collision with RRK theory. It was concluded that the reaction proceeds via collisional excitation of the parent cluster ion and following sequential loss of the constituent Ar atoms.
