33. It is noted that the effects of the excitation time (∼ 10 ns) and volume of photodetachment (about 300 μm diam of the detachment laser beam) were negligible and are therefore neglected.

35. It should be noted that the vertical electron affinity will be very small or virtually zero near the threshold size when the electron affinities of clusters change gradually with increasing size. Since collisions or strong electric fields could detach weakly bound electrons in clusters, the smallest size determined here is only the upper limit of the true threshold number.
