The structure of carbon clusters as studied by the coulomb explosion method

Abstract

The Coulomb explosion imaging (CEI) method has been used to determine the structure and photochemistry of carbon clusters. The cyclic isomer of Cn for 4 ⩽n⩽ 6 was observed, using a combination of laser photo-detachment techniques and the CEI method. The cyclic C4 electron affinity was found to be 2.1 ± 0.1 eV, more than one eV lower than the electron affinity of the linear isomer. Upper limits for the electron affinities of the cyclic C5, and C6 were also established.
