27. We vapor-deposited the aluminum electrodes using a Balzer BAE 250 evaporation apparatus. The evaporation was performed through freshly polished and thoroughly cleaned brass masks with parallel slits 4 mm wide. The thickness was chosen to be 72 nm. Details of the deposition procedure have been described elsewhere [G. Blum, F. Kremer, T. Jaworek, G. Wegner. Adv. Mater. 7, 1017 (1996)].

29. Kurth and Bein have pointed out that the Haller silanization method results not in a monolayer film but rather in a film of two or three molecular layers due to cross-linking [F. G. Kurth and T. Bein, Langmuir 11, 3061 (1995)]. We have analyzed the coupling layer on Si wafers and quartz slides by small angle x-ray reflection (SAXR) and have consistently found a thickness of 21 ± 3 Å, which agrees with the results of Kurth and Bein. The surface roughness was less than 6 Å.

31. Films of comparable thickness grafted on silicon had surface roughnesses of less than 1 nm as determined by SAXR.
32. Other reflection spectra of grafted PBLG films on various substrates will be published elsewhere. The present spectrum is typical for grafted PBLG films.
33. The equation used here was derived by F. Mopsik. and M. G. Broadhurst [J. Appl. Phys. 46, 4204-(1975)]. It is based on the Onsager approximation of the local field. We are aware of the recent discussion on this approximation [Y. Luo, H. Agren, K. V. Mikkelsen, Chem. Phys. Lett. 275, 145 (1997)]. The polarization given here should, therefore, be treated as a crude estimate.
