Abstract
Analysis of experimental data on the relaxation of freely moving hot niobiu m and tungsten clusters shows that they are cooled as a result of radiative emission. The absorption cross sections per atom of niobium and tungsten c lusters in the temperature range 3100-3700 K are (4-7) x 10(-18) cm(2), and the absorption process loses its resonant character at these temperatures.
