摘要：

A synergistic approach that combines first-principles theory and electron photodetachment experiment is shown to be able to uniquely identify the ground state of a nearly degenerate cluster in the gas phase. Additionally, this approach can complement the Stern-Gerlach technique in determining the magnetic moment of small clusters unambiguously. The method, applied to a Fe-3 cluster, reveals its ground state to have a magnetic moment of 10 mu(B)-in contrast with earlier predictions.
