Metastable decay of nitrogen clusters ions, and determination of the average kinetic energy release and binding energy values

- Metastable fragmentation of mass selected nitrogen cluster ions, (N2)n+.
- Derivation of binding energies of (N2)n+ → (N2)n−1+ + N2 (n = 5-10), using kinetic energy released data and finite heat bath theory.
- Derivation of binding energies of (N2)n+ → (N2)n−1+ + N2 (n = 2-6), using quantum chemical calculation.
