NANOCLUSTER PRODUCTION DEVICE

摘要

Improvement of control of size and structure of nanoclusters with a nanocluster production apparatus is intended. Increase of an obtained amount and a yield of nanoclusters having size and structure, at least one of which is selected, is intended. A nanocluster production apparatus has a vacuum chamber, a sputtering source that generates plasma by pulse discharge, a pulse power supply that supplies a pulsed power to the sputtering source, a first inert gas supply device that supplies a first inert gas to the sputtering source, a nanocluster growth cell stored in the vacuum chamber and a second inert gas introduction device that introduces a second inert gas into the nanocluster growth cell.
