The authors have used femtosecond photoelectron spectroscopy to monitor the dynamics associated with the charge-transfer-to-solvent (CTTS) states in I{sup {minus}}(Xe){sub n} clusters. The authors find that the lifetime for the {sup 2}P{sub 1/2} CTTS state increases approximately linearly with clust...
