Size effects on catalytic activity of supported metal clusters

ORAL

Abstract

Size-selected cluster deposition is used to prepare and study model catalysts with size-selected gold and iridium clusters supported on single crystal oxide supports. Chemistry is found to be strongly size-dependent and a combination of ion scattering and xray photoemission is used to probe the origins of the effects.
