Silicon cluster ions: Evidence for a structural transition

Jarrold, Martin F., Constant, Vladimir A.·1991·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

The mobilities of size-selected silicon cluster ions in helium have been measured using injected-ion drift-tube techniques. The results suggest that a major structural transition occurs for clusters with \ensuremath{\sim}27 atoms. Clusters with up to \ensuremath{\sim}27 atoms appear to follow a prolate growth sequence, resulting in geometries with an aspect ratio estimated to be \ensuremath{\sim}3. Larger clusters appear to have more spherical shapes. For annealed clusters this structural transition occurs over a narrow size range.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
