摘要：

In this study we present results of electron diffraction experiments on unsupported antimony nanoclusters with mean sizes in the range of 20-40 nm. An inert-gas aggregation source was used to produce the cluster beam. Electron diffraction patterns reveal phase transitions between crystalline and amorphous phases as well as particles composed of Sb-4 tetramers. The diffraction results are correlated with electron microscope investigations of the morphology of films formed by deposition of the clusters.
