Extended Data Fig. 4: MD simulation of the post-ejection dissociation process.
From: Observing the primary steps of ion solvation in helium droplets
a, Schematic showing the simulation method for a Na+HeN complex. The minimized complex is heated, and then it gradually dissipates its internal energy by shedding He atoms through dissociation. b, MD simulation results for Na+He6 showing the number of helium atoms, averaging over 1000 simulations, <N>, attached to the complex as a function of time, for three average total kinetic energies. c, The same as b, but for Na+He14.
