Abstract
Low‐energy electron attachment to neutral Cn clusters (n≤30) has been studied using the Rydberg electron transfer technique. The mass spectra of Cn− ions obtained suggest that certain carbon clusters (e.g., C5, C10, C12, C16, C18) have much larger low‐energy electron attachment cross sections than other clusters.Keywords
