42. 36-38 The dipole- layer model predicts that the work function will increase with increasing thiolate coverage (Somorjai, G. A. Introduction to Surface Chemistry and Catalysis; J. Wiley: New York, 1994.); however experiments show that adsorption of alkanethiolates decreases the work function (Evans, S. D.; Urankar, E.; Ulman, A.; Ferris, N. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1991, 113, 3, 4121- 4131). In this work we use ATBH images as a qualitative tool to demonstrate that these two regions of the SAM differ by more than just their height.

62. We have limited the bandwidth of the CV4 signal used of STM feedback control with a 4-pole low-pass Bessel filter. This gives us an excellent signal-to-noise for current feedback and also the ability to simultaneously use the frequencies above this band for other measurements.
