Threshold photoionization and density functional theory studies of the niobium carbide clusters Nb3Cn (n=1-4) and Nb4Cn (n=1-6)

Threshold photoionization and density functional theory studies of the niobium carbide clusters Nb3Cn (n=1-4) and Nb4Cn (n=1-6)

We have used photoionization efficiency spectroscopy to determine ionization potentials (IP) of the niobium-carbide clusters, Nb3Cn (n = 1−4) and Nb4Cn (n = 1−6). The Nb3C2 and Nb4C4 clusters exhibit the lowest IPs for the two series, respectively. For clusters containing up to four carbon atoms, ex...
