Ionization potentials of tantalum-carbide clusters: An experimental and density functional theory study

Ionization potentials of tantalum-carbide clusters: An experimental and density functional theory study

We have used photoionization efficiency spectroscopy to determine the ionization potentials (IP) of the tantalum-carbide clusters, Ta3Cn (n = 1-3) and Ta4Cn (n = 1-4). The ionization potentials follow an overall reduction as the number of carbon atoms increases; however, the trend is not steady as e...
