The use of electron irradiation and acceleration of the source beam has proven to be particularly effective in producing uniform Ni clusters as small as 10A with very narrow size distribution. An Arrhenius plot of substrate temperature versus average cluster diameter revealed that the activation energy due to the beam ionization was 2.5 times higher than the neutral nozzle beam case. Also, the resulting critical shear stress acting on the interface between the cluster and the substrate showed that the critical shear stress of ionized clusters was one order of magnitude higher than that of neutral clusters.
