Abstract
This pedagogical review presents the Shell Correction Method (SCM) and variants thereof, appropriate for describing shape deformations and electronic shell effects, energetics and decay pathways of metal-cluster fragmentation processes (e.g., monomer/dimer dissociation and fission). The experimental trends are compared to the theoretical SCM interpretations, and in addition theoretical results for fission from first-principles molecular-dynamics simulations are discussed. Some latest insights concerning the importance of electronic-entropy and finite-temperature effects are given special attention.
