Abstract
Results of molecular dynamics simulations of fission reactions and are presented. The dependence of the fission barriers on the isomer structure of the parentcluster is analysed. It is demonstrated that the energy necessary for removinghomothetic groups of atoms from the parent cluster is largely independent of theisomer form of the parent cluster. The importance of rearrangement of the clusterstructure during the fission process is elucidated. This rearrangement may includetransition to another isomer state of the parent cluster before actual separation of thedaughter fragments begins and/or forming a ‘neck’ between the separating fragments.
