• complex issues. Scheme of a gas aggregation cluster source. SEM images of different types of plasma polymer nanoparticles produced: a) by plasma polymerization of n-hexane in its mixture with N2; b) by plasma polymerization of HMDSO in its mixture with Ar (obtained in a similar manner as [53]); c) by RF

• newly developed UHV cluster ion beam deposition apparatus, which is described elsewhere [2]. Fe clusters are produced in a Haberland-type magnetron sputtering/gas aggregation cluster source. Extracted anions are accelerated by electrostatic lenses and mass-separated in a 90° sector magnet. The mass
