Neutral clusters of iron oxide are created by laser ablation of iron metal and subsequent reaction of the gas phase metal atoms, ions, clusters, etc., with an O(2)/He mixture. The Fe(m)O(n) clusters are cooled in a supersonic expansion and detected and identified in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer following laser ionization at 118 nm (10.5 eV), 193 nm (6.4 eV), or 355 nm (3.53 eV) photons. With 118 nm radiation, the neutral clusters do not fragment because single photon absorption is sufficient to ionize all the clusters and the energy/pulse is approximate to1muJ. Comparison of the mass spectra obtained at 118 nm ionization (single photon) with those obtained at 193 nm and 355 nm ionization (through multiphoton processes), with regard to intensities and linewidths, leads to an understanding of the multiphoton neutral cluster fragmentation pathways. The multiphoton fragmentation mechanism for neutral iron oxide clusters during the ionization process that seems most consistent with all the data is the loss of one or two oxygen atoms. In all instances of ionization by laser photons, the most intense features are of the forms Fe(m)O(m)(+), Fe(m)O(m+1)(+), and Fe(m)O(m+2)(+), and this strongly suggests that, for a given m, the most prevalent neutral clusters are of the forms Fe(m)O(m), Fe(m)O(m+1), and Fe(m)O(m+2). As the value of m increases, the more oxygen rich neutral clusters appear to increase in stability. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
