title = "Extreme size dependence of the oxidation behavior of molybdenum clusters",
abstract = "The oxidation of size-selected deposited Molybdenum clusters is investigated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Small clusters with less than 200 atoms are highly reactive and rapidly oxidize even in high vacuum. In contrast, larger clusters with more than 500 atoms do not completely oxidize even when exposed to an oxygen atmosphere. This can be explained by a thin oxide layer, which protects the clusters from further oxidation. The morphology of the cluster films is examined by STM. Oxidation should result in a volume increase and a change in the structure of the cluster thin films. Unexpectedly, the STM images look similar for oxidized and non-oxidized clusters.",
