Coulomb fission in multiply-charged ammonia clusters: accurate measurements of the Rayleigh instability limit from fragmentation patterns

A series of experiments have been undertaken on the fragmentation of multiply charged ammonia clusters, (NH3)nz+, where z  8 and n  800, to establish Rayleigh instability limits, whereby clusters at certain critical sizes become unstable due to Coulomb repulsion between the resident charges. The e...
