Electron attachment time-of-flight mass spectrometry reveals geometrical shell closings in van der Waals aggregates

A description of the results of experiments on the electron attachment time-of-flight mass spectrometry of two homogeneous van der Walls aggregates was presented. Size-specific structural information for aggregate sizes was obtained. The mechanism by which geometrical shell closings were visualized in electron attachment time-of-flight mass spectrometry was also discussed.
