34. The decay rate as predicted by the GN model decreases as the aspect ratio increases or as the overall size decreases. Consequently, there exist more than one set of aspect ratio and size combinations, all leading to a good fit. The parameters in Figure 2 were selected by considering the measured island sizes and a plausible aspect ratio.

43. A recent report has shown that even SAMs covering small metal clusters of 2.4 nm diameter can act as good spacers for modulating the electron hopping between metal clusters. Terrill, R. H.; Postlethwaite, T. A.; Chen, C.-H.; Poon, C.-D.; Terzis, A.; Chen, A.; Hutchison, J. E.; Clark, M. R.; Wignall, G.; Londono, J. D.; Superfine, R.; Falvo, M.; Johnson, C. S., Jr.; Samulski, E.

44. We are not aware of any convenient method for quantifying the defects within a SAM on Ag islands. Instead, we have studied defects within t-4MAZ SAMs on Au electrodes. Our results show that the defect density for a t-4MAZ SAM is low and comparable to that for a well-ordered SAM of n-alkanethiol containing the same number of methylene units. See Supporting Information for details.
