The intensity of the bulk excitation peak decreases for cluster sizes larger than 500 atoms/cluster. This characteristic feature can be explained based on a simple calculation that takes into account the mean free path of the incident electrons. The present study demonstrates the promise of surface-sensitive measurements of the excitation processes of clusters.}, title = {Surface-sensitive measurements of excitonic processes in rare gas clusters by electron energy loss spectroscopy}, volume = {288}, year = {2011} }
