Ionization-Driven Dehydrogenation and Molecular Growth in Gas-Phase Adamantane Clusters

Sumit Srivastav, Per Eng-Johnsson, Raimund Feifel +4

We investigate fragmentation and molecular growth induced by keV ions in initially neutral gas-phase adamantane clusters, the simplest diamondoid molecule (Ad, C${}_{10}$H${}_{16}$). U…
