By comparing the relative intensity of the spectral features between mixed and pure clusters, we estimate the size of the Xe core to develop from ≈1000 atoms for the highest Xe/Ar mixing fraction, to ≈200 atoms for the lowest. The binding energy shifts in clusters are known to be size-dependent [13, 14], but only so weakly that it can be neglected in the below qualitative discussion of the mixed clusters.
