14. For the laser fluences considered in the present paper measurements of the kinetic energy distributions of the desorbing silver atoms have shown that desorption occurs as a thermal process. Therefore, exclusively thermal evaporation has been considered in the calculations.

20. The width and peak position of the (1,0) mode are only little sensitive to changes of the size of the particles since the amplitude is surpressed by the onset of the Ag-interband transition at E = 3.7 eV. Therfore, we have only used the (1,1) mode to characterize laser-induced changes of the particle size distributions.
