Abstract
Absolute cross sections for photodetachment of negative carbon clusters are reported for C n - ( n = 3, ..., 8). The results indicate that various neutral isomers exist, some with electron affinities as low as 1 electron volt. The method of production plays an important role in the characteristics of carbon clusters.Keywords
