  We have studied the fragmentation of Li11+ clusters into the two
experimentally observed products (Li9+,Li2) and (Li10+,Li) The ground state
structures for the two fragmentation channels are found by Molecular Dynamics
Simulated Annealing in the framework of Local Density Functional theory.
Energetics considerations suggest that the fragmentation process is dominated
by non-equilibrium processes. We use a real-space approach to solve the
Kohn-Sham problem, where the Laplacian operator is discretized according to the
Mehrstellen scheme, and take advantage of a Full MultiGrid (FMG) strategy to
accelerate convergence. When applied to isolated clusters we find our FMG
method to be more efficient than state-of-the-art plane wave calculations.
