Abstract

The electron-energy spectrum of a single 1-nm-diam Au cluster supported on a W substrate has been studied by measuring the distribution of electrons field emitted from the cluster. A resonance-tunneling theory is described that reproduces the salient features of the experimental spectrum and relates it to the electronic structure of the supported cluster. (20 References).
