19. The survey spectrum was obtained on a Scienta (Uppsala, Sweden) ESCA-300 spectrometer with Al Kα radiation. In addition to the element named, this spectrum revealed a trace amount of oxidized sulfur on the sample (S 2s, 232.0 eV), most likely a result of the cleaning procedure used [W. Kern, J. Electrochem. Soc. 137, 1887 (1990)].
20. All data in Fig. 1 are averages over three points on each of two samples treated side-by-side, with the exception of the point at 60 cycles, which is an average over five points on one sample. Similar thicknesses were seen on other samples. More extensive rinsing during the preparation led to adsorption of slightly less material per cycle (by ∼2 Å). The refractive index assumed, 1.5, was representative of the values measured ellipsometrically (1.48 to 1.59) on structures greater than 50 nm in thickness. The measured refractive index increased with increasing multilayer thickness.
21. The concentration of the polymer solution was diluted in increments from 20 to 0.05% (w/w), and in response, the amount of polymer adsorbed per cycle decreased monotonically from 2.1 to 0.1 nm. The amount of hectorite adsorbed per cycle correspondingly fell monotonically from 2.7 to 0.6 nm.
22. 3Cl onto a silicon wafer from a chloroform solution gave a covalently bound layer with an ellipsometric thickness of ∼6 Å.

32. The XRD data presented in the original manuscript of this report had two additional features: a very sharp peak at 33.0° (d = 0.27 nm), and a broad, very low intensity peak at ∼13.3° (d = 0.66 nm). Both of these features were absent if samples were rinsed more extensively both during multilayer formation and shortly before XRD analysis. The full width at half height of the (001) peak in that pattern was 2.0°, indicating a domain size of 3.6 nm.
