Dr. Whetten plans to carry out a program of research employing                  laser and molecular beam techniques to synthesize and                           experimentally ask questions of specific-size clusters.  He                     will use these techniques to investigate several aspects of                     cluster phenomena, including measurements of cluster growth                     patterns, of their static electromagnetic properties by beam                    deflection techniques, and of the strength of electron binding                  in neutral and negatively charged clusters.                                                                                                                     The research is important because clusters (small particles                     ranging in size between molecular and bulk dimensions) are at                   the focus on interest in several rapidly advancing                              technologies, including information recording, industrial                       catalysis, photography, and microelectronics, and as models for                 new materials.  In particular, the origins of metallic and                      magnetic behavior in small particles are of great current                       interest.
