The evaluation of the charge state and charge exchange process of the cluster constituent ions inside solid is extremely important for the clarification of the vicinage effect, because the essential interaction forces such as stopping power, wake force and Coulomb repulsion is strongly correlated to the charge state of individual constituent ions. Therefore, the measurement of the divergence angular distributions classified into the charge-state combination of constituent ions resulting from foil-induced dissociation of 6-MeV C ions was carried out in order to investigate the relationship between the internuclear distance and the charge state of individual constituent ions. We suggests that the final charge-state combination of constituents emerging from the foil depends on the initial internuclear-distance which is fluctuated due to a vibration excitation of C ion.
