14. 4 substrates which have a cubic structure. The result is that the substrate peaks, which are much stronger, overlap with the peaks from the film, making those film samples useless for our experiments.
15. This formula holds true only for monatomic systems. For polyatomic compounds, it is more complicated. See the discussion that follows later in the text.
16. The fluctuations in Figs. 2(b) and 2(d) are not from the statistical shot noise in the counts but are mostly due to extrinsic effects such as the thermal motion of the sample as discussed in the text. The size of the error bar based on our experience is 0.5% or less. All of the root-mean-square errors of the data are less than 0.5%.
