Abstract
Electron emission efficiency induced by the collision of clusters with a solid surface was measured as a function of cluster size. Emitted electron energy distribution for the impact of mass selected negative ion clusters or mass selected neutral clusters was also measured in the energy region of 0–5 eV. The difference in the shape of the electron spectra was observed depending on the size and charge of the clusters.
