27. The non-zero intercept in Fig. 2 appears to be due primarily to the fact that "bare" gold surface is covered by physisorbed organic contaminations.
28. The OM adsorption step [3 a] was added in this part in order to simplify the impedance measurements by providing a high surface coverage, as discussed in the text.
29. 0 and n are adjustable parameters and ω is the angular frequency; see e.g. ref. [7], pp. 39, 77.
