Abstract
Neutral and positively charged clusters produced by 4 keV ion bombardment of a liquid gallium-indium eutectic alloy have been studied by time-of-flight mass spectrometry coupled with single photon postionization of the neutrals. The abundance distributions for clusters with equal nuclearity are statistical. They confirm a strong indium surface segregation. An increasing gallium content, and, therefore, larger depth of origin, was found for increasing cluster size.
