RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Deformed-jellium model for the fission of multiply charged simple metal clusters A1 Garcias, Francesca A1 Mañanes, Ángel A1 López Rodríguez, José Manuel A1 Alonso Martín, Julio Alfonso A1 Barranco, Manuel K1 Física AB A deformed-jellium model is used to calculate the fission barrier height of positive doubly chargedsodium clusters within an extended Thomas-Fermi approximation. The fissioning cluster is continuouslydeformed from the parent configuration until it splits into two fragments. Although theshape of the fission barrier obviously depends on the parametrization of the fission path, we havefound that remarkably, the maximum of the barrier corresponds to a configuration in which theemerging fragments are already formed and rather well apart. The implication of this finding in thecalculation of critical numbers for fission is illustrated in the case of multiply charged Na clusters PB The American Physical Society YR 1995 FD 1995 LK http://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/2507 UL http://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/2507 LA eng NO Physical Review B, v. 51, n. 3, (1995) p. 1897-1901 NO Producción Científica DS UVaDOC RD 24-nov-2024
