In the emission spectra of many objects, there are regions where the intensity distribution is
similar to the blackbody spectrum. This allows one to determine the temperature by …

We discuss the interpretation of delayed electron emission from excited clusters as a
statistical process analogous to thermionic emission from a hot filament. We argue that …

Thermionic emission is discussed as a long time (microseconds) decay mode of energy-rich
large molecules, metallic and metcar clusters, and fullerenes. We review what is known and …

Kinetic energy releases (KERs) in unimolecular fragmentations of singly and multiply
charged ions provide information concerning ion structures, reaction energetics and …

We analyze the rate of delayed (thermionic) ionization of photoexcited C 60 molecules. The
rate has a power-law dependence, indicating the presence of a continuum of rate constants …

This article reviews, on the basis of mass spectrometric experiments, the current status
concerning the C2 binding energy or evaporation energy in C60, D (C58–C2)= ΔEvap …

We have stored positively charged fullerene ions C n+(n even, from 48 to 70 and 76), C 60
2+ and C 70 2+ in an electrostatic storage ring and have measured the rate of emission of …

Some of the most significant discoveries and achievements concerning the mass spectra
and gas phase ion chemistry of carbon clusters are reviewed. These include (1) …

The radiative cooling rates of C clusters (N= 9, 11, 12, 17–27) have been measured in the
ultrahigh vacuum of an electrostatic storage ring to values on the order of 104 s− 1. The …

В спектрах излучения многих объектов имеются участки, где распределение
интенсивности подобно спектру черного тела. Это позволяет определять температуру …
