20. 0 + δ(x) + κΓ(x), where δ(x) represents a position-dependent stochastic fluctuation in the local resistivty, Γ(x) is the surface number density, and κ is a constant that depends on the chemical identity of the adsorbate. However, the stochastic and adsorption terms comprise typically an effect ≤ 5%, so they are neglected in this treatment.

31. In these experiments, 3 mm × 75 mm Au films were deposited onto glass microscope slides and configured with four contacts sealed under epoxy to facilitate immersion of the narrow Au WE's.
32. The spread of the surface energy gradient over nearly 400 mV in in-plane potential is most likely due to surface roughness of the Au films on glass, as anticipated by Porter and co-workers in ref 41.
33. The small volume of the SPR flow-cell required the use of a Ag/ AgCl quasi-reference electrode prepared by contacting the working solution to a 0.5 M KOH/MeOH solution containing the Ag/AgCl electrode reference with a Au wire.

39. The series of images in Figure 2 are numerically subtracted from an original exposure of the biased Au film to cancel a small (relative to the SAM) electroreflectance contribution. The reflection angle was set such that dark regions correspond to OT-covered Au and light regions to bare Au.
40. The difference in half-widths of the desorption waves in Figures 1 and 2 can be attributed to differences in surface preparation. Figure 2 data were obtained on a carefully annealed evaporated Au film, producing Nernstian width waves with minimal separation. Figure 1 data were acquired on unannealed Au, because the magnitude of the gradient, i.e., Δ cos θ, is larger on unannealed Au than on annealed Au.

42. -1. An in-plane potential gradient of this magnitude would necessitate an electrode length of the order of 10's of μm to avoid difficulties with solvent electrolysis and gas evolution.
