The dissociation energy of V
has been
determined by comparison of the rates of sequential fragmentation,
V
, and
single-step fragmentation of the first fragment,
V
. The dissociation-energy value
obtained as D=4.35(13) eV has implications for the amount of
radiative cooling of the cluster derived form the data presented
earlier [C. Walther et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 3816 (1999)]
and is used to analyze additional results.
