Abstract
We report photodestruction spectra for the (H2O)(n)(-) clusters (n=6, 11, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, and 50) in the range 0.7-1.6 eV. The spect ra are observed to strongly redshift and narrow with decreasing cluste r size, with a concomitant increase in peak intensity. The maxima occu r well below the vertical detachment energies for n>20 and almost excl usively result from excitation of a bound-bound transition. (C) 1997 A merican Institute of Physics.
