Other Decay Modes in Atomic and Molecular Clusters

2 Other Decay Modes in Atomic and Molecular Clusters 

In this Chapter, we will concentrate on the unimolecular processes in metal clusters described by Eqs(l-3). However, there is a variety of additional dissociation and 

unimolecular fission of triply and higher charged cationic simple metal clusters [6, 23, 24]  

metastability against electron autodetachment of multiply charged anionic atomic clusters [25-27] and fullerenes [26-28]  

fragmentation of cationic fullerenes via sequential evaporation of carbon dimers [29]
