Abstract
A shell correction approach for fission of charged metal clusters is discussed and an application to doubly charged silver clusters is presented. In this approach the total energy is expressed as a sum of the liquid drop energy and the shell correction, where the former describes the macroscopic average energy of the system and the latter takes into account the microscopic fluctuation from the average arising from inhomogeneous distribution of valence electron levels. Using this approach we can reduce amount of computation for the complicated fission process and yet describe it quantitatively as well as qualitatively.
