The process of multielectron transfer from a Na 4 cluster induced by highly charged C 6+, C 4+, C 2+ and C + ions is studied using the method of time-dependent density functional theory within the local density approximation combined with the use of pseudopotential. The evolution of dipole moment changes and emitted electrons in Na 4 is obtained and the time-dependent probabilities with various charges are deduced. It is shown that the Na 4 cluster is strongly ionized by C 6+ and that the number of emitted electrons per atom of Na 4 is larger than that of Na 2 under the same condition. One can find that the detailed information of the emitted electrons from Na 4 is different from the same from Na 2, which is possibly related to the difference in structure between the two clusters.
