20. Typically, when the main transport chain is reduced to a single cluster, we can see some perturbation of the diamond structure coming from a long-range capacitance coupling to nearest islands. Their presence reveals in periodic lines crossing the gray scale plot of derivatives. In most cases, further depositions improved the transistor quality by merging these islands either with the leads or with the main island.
21. A system with more than 2 grains will always demonstrate a staircase pattern with more than 3 different slopes. As we see only 3 slopes in Fig. 3c (2 from the Coulomb diamonds plus one additional slope γ), we conclude that there could be no more than 2 grains in this system.
