Abstract

The detachment energy dependence of the photoelectron spectra (PES) was shown, suggesting the existence of complex photoinduced processes, competing with photodetachment. It was demonstrated that the previous conclusions concerning the band gap in mercury clusters are valid. The corrupted PES carry the signature of interband absorption followed by charge-carrier thermalization and Auger electron ejection in Hgn-.
