Summary:We discuss the response of metal clusters subject to strong electromagnetic fields, as delivered by an energetic projectile ion. Density functional theory allows a fully non-adiabatic treatment of both electronic and ionic degrees of freedom, which is unavoidable for a proper description of such involved situations. After a general presentation of the framework we give a few examples of applications in the case of simple metal clusters hit by highly charged ions.
