Temperature and energy partition in fragmentation

We study fragmentation of small atomistic clusters via molecular dynamics. We calculate the time scales related to fragment formation and emission. We also show that some degree of thermalization is achieved during the expansion process, which allows the determination of local temperature. In this w...
