Abstract
We have studied theoretically charge transfer and fragmentation in collisions of positively charged metal clusters (Na9+, Li312+) and C60 with various atomic targets (Cs and He2+). We show that the relative abundance of different fragments depends critically on cluster temperature and the spectrometer time of flight window (TOF). We have found good agreement with recent experimental results. For C60q+ species (q = 0, 1, 2) produced in collisions with He2+ projectiles, dissociation energies for dimer evaporation have been calculated within DFT. A very good agreement between theoretical estimates and available measurements is found.
