Phys. Rev. A 67, 013203 (2003) [5 pages]Gas-phase anions containing B and NReceived 16 September 2002; published 31 January 2003 Mixed clusters of B and N have been produced by sputtering BN with Cs or Rb. The atom ordering in assumed linear species has been deduced from measurements of the mass distribution of both the positive and negative products from the fragmentation of the anionic clusters in a gas target. The existence of the anions BBN, BNN, BBBN, BBBBN, BBNN, and BBBNN has been demonstrated. The structural isomer with the largest electron affinity is usually the dominant species produced in the sputter source. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
