Abstract
The vibrational motion of Ar clusters (Ar(n), n=20 and 30) having isom ers in a variety of shapes was simulated by use of the molecular dynam ics method and the mode-separation of the breathing vibration from the quadruple spheroidal vibration was investigated. It was found that th ese modes of highly spherical isomers were almost fully separated from each other, while coupling between these modes were significant in no n-spherical isomers. The relation between the cluster shape and the mo de-separation was elucidated.
