Statistical nature of cluster emission in nuclear liquid-vapour phase coexistence
The emission of nuclear clusters is investigated within the framework of
isospin dependent lattice gas model and classical molecular dynamics model. It
is found that the emission of individual cluster which is heavier than proton
is almost Poissonian except near the transition temperature at which the system
is leaving the liquid-vapor phase coexistence and the thermal scaling is
observed by the linear Arrhenius plots which is made from the average
multiplicity of each cluster versus the inverse of temperature in the liquid
vapor phase coexistence. The slopes of the Arrhenius plots, {\it i.e.} the
"emission barriers", are extracted as a function of the mass or charge number
and fitted by the formula embodied with the contributions of the surface energy
and Coulomb interaction. The good agreements are obtained in comparison with
the data for low energy conditional barriers. In addition, the possible
influences of the source size, Coulomb interaction and "freeze-out" density and
related physical implications are discussed
