23. The Arrhenius law is used here as an upper limit. The real rate of a free cluster will always increase sub-exponential with energy due to the influence of the activation energy and the finite number of degrees of freedom. Note, that no important change of entropy as a phase transition should fall into the extrapolated temperature range

43. As a measure for the relative binding energies the vapor pressures can be used. They have been investigated in an independent experiment with an evaporative source without clustering. For some selected vapour pressure values of different PAH molecules see [20]
