Super-Elastic Collisions in a Thermally Activated System

Impact phenomena of small clusters subject to thermal fluctuations are numerically investigated. From the molecular dynamics simulation for colliding two identical clusters, it is found that the restitution coefficient for head-on collisions can exceed unity when the colliding speed is smaller than...
