55. 4- increases with time, but on Au anchored with mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane (MPS) this was not the case. Inconsistencies in the surface morphologies of the MPS-anchored gold films defeated efforts to evaluate this Au film preparation.
56. Cr-anchored Au films were 200 nm thick and evaporated onto 6 nm of Cr on glass microscope slides. Au evaporated onto Si(111) was 150 nm thick.
