3. 6 (11 Å). Statistical uncertainties in these numbers are high (σ = ± 5 Å or more). This is due not only to size and packing fluctuations but also to the fact that the measurement was of the 2D projection of a film that undoubtedly exhibited fluctuations in 3D. However, both the trend and the absolute numbers are reasonably consistent with previous measurements on highly ordered monolayers of organically passivated silver, gold, and cobalt quantum dots.

15. In sufficiently small particles the electronic density of states is sparse, and there may be insufficient electron density near the Fermi level for Cooper pair formation below the superconducting transition temperature. Such size-dependent effects are expected near about 5 nm diameter particles. In a 20 nm diameter Pb particle, no such effects are expected, and superconductivity should be well-established in the particle below the transition temperature. See: Anderson, P. W. J. Phys. Chem. Solids 1959, 11, 28. Ralph, D. C.; Black, C. T.; Tinkham, M. Phys. Rev. Lett. 1997, 78, 4087.
