Super-elastic collisions of thermal activated nanoclusters

arXiv:0805.0176

Abstract

Impact processes of nanoclusters subject to thermal fluctuations are investigated, theoretically. In the former half of the paper, we discuss the basis of quasi-static theory. In the latter part, we carry out the molecular dynamics simulation of collisions between two identical nanoclusters, and report some statistical properties of impacts of nanoclusters.
