Abstract
Measured angular distributions of photoelectrons from size-selected copper and sodium cluster anions are demonstrated to exhibit a universal behavior independent of the initial electron state, cluster size, or material, which can be traced back to momentum conservation upon photoemission. Quantum simulations reproduce the universality under the assumption that multielectron dynamics localizes the emission on the cluster surface and renders the cluster opaque to photoelectrons, thereby quenching interference effects that would otherwise obscure this almost classical behavior.
