Phys. Rev. A 57, 1938–1943 (1998)Electron emission from strongly excited metal clustersReceived 17 April 1997; published in the issue dated March 1998 The emission of electrons from metal clusters for fast excitation processes is studied, modeling Coulomb excitation through a bypassing ion. The time scales of the process and the trends with excitation energy are estimated within a simple model and computed in detail using a time-dependent density-functional formalism. The numerical study also allows one to estimate nonlinear effects. These are surprisingly small up to rather high excitation energies in the multiplasmon regime. © 1998 The American Physical Society URL:
