Correlation Effects in Kinetics of One-Dimensional Atomic Systems

Table 2

Minimal chain lifetime 𝜏, minimum number of atoms in a stable chain 𝑁_min, and 𝐹_0th, 𝐹_0𝑒 are the estimated and experimental values of the force required to break the cluster with a minimum number of atoms in it correspondingly.
