Abstract

In this article, we explore the use of stochastic optimization technique, namely simulated annealing, in elucidating the correct cut-off limit for suppression of Coulomb explosion in dicationic argon gas clusters. We also do a detail study of cluster sizes where the clusters are not stable as one single entity, and try to find out the dissociation channels for these, namely fission or non-fission type. We compare our results with available literature results, both theoretical and experimental.
