Molecular dynamics of two- and three-dimensional liquids undergoing a homogeneous adiabatic expansion provides a direct numerical simulation of the atomization process. The Lennard-Jones potential is used with different force cutoff distances; the cluster distributions do not depend strongly on the cutoff parameter. Expansion rates, scaled by the natural molecular time unit (about a picosecond), are investigated from unity down to 0.
