Abstract
The electron diffraction measurement of Sb and Bi vapor beams ejected by adiabatic expansion from a nozzle source showed a halo pattern, ind icating that clusters included in the beams were in liquid state. By t he introduction of He gas, the electron diffraction pattern became str ong. The RDF analysis showed the higher order arrangement of the clust er, and the cluster size was estimated to be larger than a few tens of atoms.
