Molecular beams of oxidized iron clusters are produced by pulsed laser evaporation of iron followed by reaction of the resulting iron clusters with O/sub 2/ in a continuous flow reactor. Nonstoichiometry of the iron oxide clusters is found, the composition rapidly approaching Fe/sub 0.9/O as cluster size increases. The relation of these results to the similar nonstoichiometries found in bulk FeO is discussed.
