Clusters are characterized by a large number of surface atoms and this represents a substantial difference with respect to crystals. Consequently, clusters are different from both molecules a

New types of cluster sources are constantly developed. Some examples only will be discussed here. Problems with detectors fo

However the applicability of methods based on concepts well proven in solid state physics can start to be questionable when a cluster is very small. Going from atom to the bulk the question is from what clus

Experimental Methods,r cluster ions are treated in Section 3.2. Electron diffraction from a cluster beam is discussed in Section 3.3. Methods to produce neutral mass selected clusters are reviewed in Section 3.4. Section 3.5 contains a brief overview of different types of mass spectrometers. Methods for optical and electron spectroscopy are discussed in 3.6 to 3.8.
