The average size of the studied clusters is rectified to be <N> = 500.

Due to an error in the size estimation formula, the correct average size of the clusters studied in the article is about 500 atoms in a cluster. The average size itself was not used as a parameter in the data analysis, and all conclusions in the original article are still valid for the icosahedral clusters of <N> = 500. The surprising observation of a strong increase in the background after the 5 s-1 photoelectron peak can now be explained to arise from the electron scattering effects inside the clusters.


The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
