title: Li ion scattering from Au nanoclusters on TiO2(110).
abstract: The neutralization of low energy 7Li+ scattered from Au nanoclusters deposited on TiO2(110) was measured with time-of-flight spectroscopy as a function of cluster size, emission angle, and ion energy. The neutralization shows maxima for cluster diameters approximately 3 nm, and again for thick Au films. The data are compared to previous experiments with Na projectiles. Possible explanations of the observed effects are discussed.
