Abstract

A newly developed technique is employed for the production of carbon and silicon cluster beams starting from gaseous compounds. It is based on theCO2-laser-induced decomposition of molecular gases containing carbon and silicon, such asCO2H2andSiH4, in a flow reactor. In order to decompose acetylene,SF6is used as a sensitizer. By introducing a skimmer into the reaction zone, the generated silicon and carbon clusters are transferred to free molecular flow and analyzed with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. It is shown that the technique can be efficiently employed to produce fullerenesC60andC70and, in the case of silicon, ultrapure nanosized particles of up to 3-nm diameter.
