摘要
Excimer laser ablation into vacuum of hydrated lanthanide oxalates has produced new lanthanide (Ln) oxide cluster ions which were identified by time-of-flight mass spectrometry. In addition to binary oxide clusters (Ln mO+n), mixed lanthanide oxide clusters [Ln m1Lnm2'O+n with (m1+m2)≤9] were discerned for the following Ln-Ln': La-Tb, La-Ho, La-Lu, and Ho-Lu. The observed cluster ion stoichiometries, abundance distributions, and hydration systematics provide insights into cluster formation mechanisms and chemistries. Time-variable ion sampling revealed cluster enhancement in the tail of the ablation plume. The body of experimental results support cluster formation by aggregation of small ablated species. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
