Abstract
The fragmentation of water clusters, ![Mathematical equation: $[({\rm H_{2}O})_{n}; n=2{-}8]$](/articles/epjd/abs/2001/03/d0111/d0111_tex_eq1.png)
, have been investigated by
using molecular-dynamics simulation method. In the simulations a polarizable-dissociable
potential energy function for water has been used. Particular attention has bee paid to
investigate the effect of structural properties and cluster size on the fragmentation.
