Abstract
Photoinduced Coulombic fission of doubly charged lithium-atom clusters is observed for cluster sizes around the critical size of stability. The absolute value of the outer part of the Coulombic barrier is deduc ed from kinetic-energy-release measurements. The inner part is obtaine d from unimolecular decay. Such analysis provides a complete character ization of the energetics of the fissioning system.
