Abstract
The cluster states are discussed in a model frame of extended quantum molecular dynamics. Different cluster structures are studied in detail, such as two- cluster structure, triangle structure, chain structure, chain structure, kite structure, and square structure. The properties studied include the width of wave packets for different clusters, momentum distribution, and the binding energy among clusters. We also discuss how the cluster degree of freedom affects nuclear collective vibrations. The cluster configurations in and are found to have corresponding characteristic spectra of giant dipole resonance (GDR), and the coherences of different clusters' dipole oscillations are described in detail. The geometrical and dynamical symmetries of -clustering configurations are responsible for the number and centroid energies of peaks of GDR spectra. Therefore, the GDR can be regarded as an effective probe to diagnose different cluster configurations in light nuclei.
