18. In the present case, the Cu(001) also represents an increase in corrugation with respect to the Cu(111) surface.
19. The measurements described here were taken at a tunneling current of 0.1 nA and a sample bias of 0.1 V, giving a relatively large gap resistance of 1 GΩ.
20. 2v symmetry of the molecule on the fourfold hollow site, this procedure is equivalent to taking data at one point while rotating the tip to four orientations 90° apart.
