Abstract
The photoionization efficiency (PIE) spectra and ionization potentials are reported for scandium cluster monoxides (Sc(n)O, n = 5-36). As fo und for other transition metal clusters, strong dependence of ionizati on potential on cluster size is found for small clusters, with the ion ization potentials of larger clusters decreasing relatively smoothly w ith increasing size. The IPs are 0.6-0.8 eV lower than that predicted by conducting spherical droplet model.
