Abstract
We have studied the unimolecular evaporation of ionized lithium cluste rs for different conditions of ionization. In this article we present the total evaporative rates and the monomer-dimer branching ratios for Li-11(+). We observe nonstatistical effects, associated with the diss ociation along a less energetically favorable channel. Even after a fe w microseconds, the internal energy is probably not statistically dist ributed in all the vibrational modes.
