Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 4778–4781 (1997)Giant Intermolecular Decay and Fragmentation of ClustersReceived 30 July 1997; published in the issue dated 15 December 1997 In sharp contrast to molecules, electronic states of clusters with an excited intermediate-shell electron can efficiently decay via an intermolecular Coulombic mechanism. Explicit examples are presented using large scale ab initio propagator calculations. The mechanism is illustrated and its generality is stressed. © 1997 The American Physical Society URL:
